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.

K = -48

1. subtract 5 from both sides
-4 = k/12

2. multiply 12 from both sides to get k alone
-48 = k

Here is a right-angled triangle.
lilavasa [31]

It is given that, ABC BC =6.5cm CA=6.3cm AB=4.8cm Steps involved in construction Step 1: First draw a line segment AB = 4.8cm using pencil and ruler And mark one end A and other end B Step 2: From the point A draw an cm Step 3: From the point B draw an arc of length 6.5 cm Step point of intersection of these arc as C. Step 5: Join A and C & B and C. Now the triangle ABC is ready with BC =6.5cm CA=6.3cm AB=4.8cm

Kirstin knows that the initial fee for adopting a dog from the animal shelter is $75. This fee needs to be considered when calcu
irina [24]

Answer:

The function is represented by C(d) = 75\,USD + r\cdot d.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we must observe that total cost of the dog (C(d)) is the sum of two components: i) <em>Fixed cost</em> (C_{f}) - Adoption fee, ii) <em>Variable cost</em> (C_{v}) - Daily cost of feeding the dog, both measured in US dollars.

In addition, we suppose that variable cost is directly proportional to the number of days that Kirstin owns her dog. That is:

C (d) = C_{f} + C_{v}

C(d) = C_{f} + r\cdot d

Where:

d - Number of days that Kirstin owns her dog, measured in days.

r - Daily feeding costs, measured in US dollars per day.

If C_{f} = 75\,USD, then:

C(d) = 75\,USD + r\cdot d

The function is represented by C(d) = 75\,USD + r\cdot d.
