Answer:

  160 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

__

If p represents the plane's speed, then the speed with the wind is p+20 and the time to go 405 miles is ...

  405/(p+20)

The speed against the wind is p-20, and the time to go 315 miles is ...

  315/(p-20)

These two times are equal, so we have ...

  405/(p+20) = 315/(p-20)

  405(p-20) = 315(p+20) . . . . . . cross multiply

  90p = 6300 +8100 = 14400 . . . . add 8100 -315p

  p = 14400/90 = 160

The speed of the plane in still air is 160 mph.

The quadratic regression graphed on the coordinate grid represents the height of a road surface x meters from the center of the
andrew-mc [135]

The height of the surface increases, then decreases, from the center out to the sides of the road.

<h3>What is quadratic equation?</h3>

The polynomial having a degree of 2 is defined as the quadratic equation it means that the variable will have a maximum power of 2.

Let

y------> the height of the surface

x------> the road

we know that

The quadratic regression graphed represent a vertical parabola open downward

The function increase in the interval --------> (-5,0)        

The function decrease in the interval -------->   (0,5)

therefore

The height of the surface increases, then decreases, from the center out to the sides of the road.

A large high school offers AP Statistics and AP Calculus Among the seniors in this school 65% take AP Statistics, 45% take AP Ca
Igoryamba

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

P(AP statistics) = 65%

P(AP Calculus) = 45%

P(AP statistics n AP Calculus) = 30%

Probability of AP statistics or AP Calculus but not both :

Probability of event A or B :

P(AUB) = p(A) + p(B) - p(AnB)

P(AP statistics U AP Calculus) = P(AP statistics) + P(AP Calculus) - P(AP statistics n AP Calculus)

= 0.65 + 0.45 - 0.30

= 0.8

= 80%

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 4 by 76, 77, and 78.

4 * 76 = 304

4 * 77 = 308

4 * 78 = 312

304 = 304, so C is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
