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.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: [-1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an absolute-value function.  (Graphed below) The vertex is at (-3, -1) which consists of the minimum y-value of the function. Therefore:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: [-1, ∞)

Will someone please help me with this because I don't understand and I don't want to fail my class.

Answer:

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y - 1 =0; add both sides by + 4y + 1

x - 4y - 1 + 4y + 1 = 0 +  4y + 1

Simplifying

x = 4y + 1

x + 5y - 4 = 0; Add (-5y + 4) to both sides

x + 5y - 4 -5y + 4 = 0 -5y + 4

Simplying

x = -5y +4

x = 4 - 5y

Now you have both equations

x = 4y + 1

x= 4 - 5y

Now you can use the comparison method

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

f(x) = - 0.6x² + 4.2x + 240 ← factor out - 0.6 from the first 2 terms

     = - 0.6(x² - 7x) + 240

To complete the square

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 7x

f(x) = - 0.6(x² + 2(- 3.5)x + 12.25 - 12.25 ) + 240

      = - 0.6 (x - 3.5)² + 7.35 + 240

     = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35

with vertex = (3.5, 247.35 )

The maximum value is the y- coordinate of the vertex

Then

f(x) = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35 has a maximum value of 247.35
