800 = ( 200 - s ) × t1 ;
800 = ( 200 + s ) × t2 ;
t1 + t2 = 8h 20 mins.;
where s = the average speed of the wind ;
t1 = the time into the wind ;
t2 = the time with the wind ;
Then, t1 = 800 / ( 200 - s ) and t2 = 800 / ( 200 + s ) ;
800 / ( 200 - s ) + 800 / ( 200 + s ) = 8h and 20 mins. = 500 mins. ;
8 / ( 200 - s ) + 8 / ( 200 + s ) = 5 ;
8( 200 + s ) + 8( 200 - s ) = 5( 200 + s )( 200 - s ) ;
1600 + 8s + 1600 - 8s = 5( 4000 - s^2 ) ;
3200 = 20000 - 5s^2 ;
5s^2 = 17800 ;
s^2 = 17800 ÷ 5 ;
s^2 = 3560 ;
s = \sqrt{3560} = 59,66 miles per hour≈ 60 miles per hour ;

The # of taxi accidents is approximated by y = -143.3x^2 + 1823.3x + 6820 and the # of injuries is approximated by y = -416.72x^
spin [16.1K]
To analyze the problem first is to arrange the equations according to their uses:
# of taxi accident y = -143.3X^2+1823.3x+6820
# of injuries y = -416.72X^2+4416.7x+8500
So the answer if X = 9 will be represented by 1999
# of taxi accident y = 11622.4
# of injuries y = 14495.98
I hope you understand the answer and feel free to ask for more.
