Answer:

170 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the plane's speed.

If the car travels 110 mph slower than the plane, then the car's speed is x - 110 mph.

<u>Plane:</u>

Speed = x mph

Distance = 1,020 miles

Time = t hours

1,020=x\cdot t\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{1,020}{x}

<u>Car:</u>

Speed = x - 110 mph

Distance = 360 miles

Time = t hours

360=(x-110)t\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{360}{x-110}

A plane can fly 1020 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 360 miles, so

\dfrac{1,020}{x}=\dfrac{360}{x-110}

Cross multiply:

1,020(x-110)=360x\\ \\102(x-110)=36x\\ \\102x-11,220=36x\\ \\102x-36x=11,220\\ \\66x=11,220\\ \\x=170

A plan for a park has a rectangular plot of wild flowers that needs to be enclosed by 54 feet of fencing. Only three sides need
saw5 [17]

The largest area possible for the garden is 364.5 ft²

The width that will produce the maximum area is 13.5 ft

The length that will produce the maximum area is 27 ft

<h3>Area of a rectangle:</h3>
  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

Only three sides need to be enclosed because one side is bordered by the parking lot. Therefore,

perimeter = l + 2w

54  = l + 2w

l = 54 - 2w

Therefore,

area = (54 - 2w)w

(54 - 2w)w = 0

w = 0 or 27

average = 27 /2 = 13.5

Hence, the max area is at w = 13.5 meters

Therefore,

l = 54 - 2(13.5) = 27 ft

length = 27 ft

width =  13.5 ft

Therefore,

area = 27 × 13.5 = 364.5 ft²

Therefore, the largest area possible for the garden is 364.5 ft²

Use stoke's theorem to evaluate∬m(∇×f)⋅ds where m is the hemisphere x^2+y^2+z^2=9, x≥0, with the normal in the direction of the
ludmilkaskok [199]
By Stokes' theorem,

\displaystyle\int_{\partial\mathcal M}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\iint_{\mathcal M}\nabla\times\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S

where \mathcal C is the circular boundary of the hemisphere \mathcal M in the y-z plane. We can parameterize the boundary via the "standard" choice of polar coordinates, setting

\mathbf r(t)=\langle 0,3\cos t,3\sin t\rangle

where 0\le t\le2\pi. Then the line integral is

\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\int_{t=0}^{t=2\pi}\mathbf f(x(t),y(t),z(t))\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\langle x(t),y(t),z(t)\rangle\,\mathrm dt
=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\langle0,0,3\cos t\rangle\cdot\langle0,-3\sin t,3\cos t\rangle\,\mathrm dt=9\int_0^{2\pi}\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=9\pi

We can check this result by evaluating the equivalent surface integral. We have

\nabla\times\mathbf f=\langle1,0,0\rangle

and we can parameterize \mathcal M by

\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle3\cos v,3\cos u\sin v,3\sin u\sin v\rangle

so that

\mathrm d\mathbf S=(\mathbf s_v\times\mathbf s_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\langle9\cos v\sin v,9\cos u\sin^2v,9\sin u\sin^2v\rangle\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

where 0\le v\le\dfrac\pi2 and 0\le u\le2\pi. Then,

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal M}\nabla\times\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi/2}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}9\cos v\sin v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=9\pi

as expected.
