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 ;

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: A=2.5x^{2}


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's write the following formula for calculate the area of a rectangle:

A=yx

Where y is the lenght (the longer side) and x is the width (the shorter side).

2. You know that the length is 2.5 times as long as the other side, which indicates a multiplication. Then:

y=2.5x

3. So, you must substitute y into the equation for calculate the area of the rectangle and then you must simplify.

4. Then, you obtain the following expression:

A=(2.5x)(x)\\A=2.5x^{2}

Andrei [34K]
Given:
Price of tickets:
3 years ago - 8.75 
now - 11

annual multiplier:

b³ = 11/8.75 
b = ∛11/8.75
b = 1.079

The annual multiplier is 1.079.

1.079 * 100% = 107.9%

107.9% - 100% = 7.9%

The percentage increase is 7.9%
