Two planes left simultaneously from the same airport and headed in the same direction towards another airport 3600 km away. The

speed of one of the planes was 200 km/hour slower than the speed of the other plane, and so it arrived at its destination 1.5 hours after the faster plane. Find the speeds of both planes.

Answer:

  • 800 kph
  • 600 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation</u>

Let s represent the speed of the faster plane. Then its travel time is ...

  time = distance/speed = 3600/s

travel time for the slower plane is ...

  time = distance/speed = 3600/(s -200)

The difference in these times is 1.5 hours, so we have ...

  3600/(s -200) -3600/s = 1.5

<u>Solution</u>

Multiplying by (2/3)s(s -200), we get ...

  2400(s) -2400(s -200) = s(s -200)

  s^2 -200s -480000 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . rewrite in standard form

  (s -800)(s +600) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

The positive value of s that makes a factor zero is s = 800.

<u>Conclusion</u>

The speed of the faster plane was 800 km/h; of the slower plane, 600 km/h.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The travel time for the faster plane was 3600/800 = 4.5 hours. For the slower plane, 3600/600 = 6 hours, a difference of 1.5 hours.

Divide (–15x5 – 16x4 + 84x3 – 17x2 – 9x – 15) by (x – 8/5) using synthetic division.
xz_007 [3.2K]
Synthetic division work with the coefficient of the given polynomial expression

We have 
-15    -16   84   -17   -9   -15

and the divisor is:
x - ⁸/₅ = 0
x = ⁸/₅

Refer to the diagram below for the steps of synthetic division

Start by multiplying the first coefficient by the divisor, write the answer under the second coefficient, and then add the two values.

Repeat the steps until we use up all the remaining coefficients

The final values are the coefficients of the quotient and the last value is the reminder

What is m∠LQK ?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
Lady_Fox [76]
∠LQK+∠GQL=90º
Therefore:
(4n-15)+(3n)=90
7n=90+15
7n=105
n=105/7
n=15

∠LQK=4n-15=4(15)-15=60-15=45

Answer: ∠LQK=45º
