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.

Tell whether you can reach each type of conclusion below using coordinate
Korvikt [17]

The answer to all of them is yes.

6) The lengths of AB and CD using the distance formula. (because congruent segments have equal length)

7) The slopes of AB and CD are equal using the slope formula. (because parallel segments have equal slopesL

8) The slopes of AB and CD are negative reciprocals using the slope formula. (because perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals)

9) The two segments that CD is split into by AB have equal length using the distance formula. (because a segment bisector splits a segment into two congruent segments, and congruent segments have equal length)

10) Angles CAB and DAB have the same measure using the angle between two lines formula. (Because an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent angles, and congruent angles have equal measure)

11) Angles A and B have the same measure using the angle between two lines formula. (Because an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent angles, and congruent angles have equal measure)

12) The lines that form angle A have slopes that are negative reciprocals using the slope formula. (because perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, and perpendicular lines form right angles)

13) The lengths of AB and AC combined equal the length of AC using the distance formula.

14) Two sides of triangle ABC have equal length using the distance formula.

15) All four sides of ABCD have the same length using the distance formula.

16) Letting AB and CD meet at E, the distance formula says AE=BE and CE=DE.

What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Consider points (3,5) and (2,-5) from the graph \\ slope =  \frac{( - 5 - 5)}{(2 - 3)}  \\ m = 10 \\ in \: relation \: of \: (3,5) \: with \: y = mx + c \\ 5 = (10)(3) + c \\ 5 = 30 + c \\ c =  - 25 \\ y = 10x - 25 \\  \frac{y}{5}  =  2x - 5
