Answer:

The speed of plane = 40 m/s

The speed of the wind = 300 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = Y

And the speed of the wind = X

If the plane then travel 340 miles per hour with the wind, that means the plane and the wind are moving in the same direction. Therefore,

X + Y = 340 ..... ( 1 )

Also, 260 miles per hour against the wind. That is, the plane is moving opposite to the direction of the wind. Therefore,

X - Y = 260 ..... ( 2 )

Solve the two equations simultaneously by addition. That will eliminate Y

X + Y = 340

X - Y = 260

2X = 600

X = 600/2

X = 300 m/s

Substitutes X in equation (1)

300 + Y = 340

Make Y the subject of formula by collecting the like terms

Y = 340 - 300

Y = 40 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the plane is 40 m/s. While the speed of the wind is 300 m/s.

Simplify (-x^2 – 28x + 7) + (-7x^2 + 14x + 8).
Anon25 [30]

Add numbers with the same amount of variables

-x^2 + (-7x^2) = -8x^2

– 28x (+ 14x )= -14x

7 (+ 8) = 15

-18x² - 14x + 15 is your answer

hope this helps

The circle below has center P, and its radius is 3 m. Given that m 2 QPR=170°, find the length of the minor arc OR.
QveST [7]

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The length of the arc m∠QPR is 2.8334π m.

<h3>What is the Length of an Arc?</h3>

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The arc length is the measurement of how long an arc is. The length of an arc is given by the formula,

\rm{ Length\ of\ an\ Arc = 2\times \pi \times(radius)\times\dfrac{\theta}{360} = 2\pi r \times \dfrac{\theta}{2\pi}

where

θ is the angle, that which arc creates at the centre of the circle in degree.

Given the radius of the circle is 3m, while the angle made by the arc at the centre of the circle is 170°. Therefore,

The length of an arc = 2πr×(θ/360°) = 2π × 3 ×(170/360°) = 2.8334π m

Hence, the length of the arc m∠QPR is 2.8334π m.
