Answer:his speed in still air is 6 miles per minute.

the speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent his speed in still air.

Let y represent the speed of the wind.

It takes Jack Frost 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind. This means that his total speed would be x + y

Distance = speed × time

It means that

35 = 5(x + y)

35 = 5x + 5y - - - - - - - - - - -1

It takes him 7 minutes to go 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed would be x - y

It means that

35 = 7(x - y)

35 = 7x - 7y - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

245 = 35x + 35y

175 = 35x - 35y

Adding both equations, it becomes

420 = 70x

x = 420/70 = 6

Substituting x = 6 into equation 1, it becomes

35 = 5 × 6 + 5y

35 = 30 + 5y

5y = 35 - 30 = 5

y = 5/5 = 1

What is the factored for of the polynomial x^2 - 12x + 27
vodomira [7]

Answer:

(x - 3)(x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 27) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 12)

The factors are - 3 and - 9, hence

x² - 12x + 27 = (x - 3)(x - 9 )

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!
MakcuM [25]

Given:

The graph of a line.

To find:

The equation of line and values of m and b. Check whether it is proportional or linear.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that, the line passes through (0,4) and (2,0). So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

y-4=\dfrac{0-4}{2-0}(x-0)

y-4=\dfrac{-4}{2}(x)

y-4=-2x

Adding 4 on both sides, we get

y=-2x+4

On comparing this equation with slope intercept form, i.e., y=mx+b, we get

m=-2\text{ and }b=4

All lines are linear. If a line passes through the origin then it is proportional.

From the given graph it is clear that the line is not passing through the origin, i.e., (0,0). So, it is linear not proportional.

Therefore, the value of m is -2 and the value of b is 4. The equation of line is y=-2x+4.  The line linear not proportional because it does not passing through the origin.
