Answer: C) Plane: 235 km/h, Wind: 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr

Return trip = 211km/hr

Let the speed of airplane = a, and wind speed = w

Therefore ;

Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr

a + w = 259 - - - (1)

Return trip = 211km/hr

a - w = 211 - - - (2)

From (2)

a = 211 + w

Substitute the value of a into (1)

a + w = 259

211 + w + w = 259

211 + 2w = 259

2w = 259 - 211

2w = 48

w = 48/2

w = 24km = windspeed

Substituting w = 24 into (2)

a - 24 = 211

a = 211 + 24

a = 235km = speed of airplane

Find the indicated limit, if it exists.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

d) The limit does not exist

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Limits

Right-Side Limit: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x)$
Left-Side Limit: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x)$

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

Limit Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} [f(x) \pm g(x)] = \lim_{x \to c} f(x) \pm \lim_{x \to c} g(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

In order for a limit to exist, the right-side and left-side limits must equal each other.

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}5 - x,\ x < 5\\8,\ x = 5\\x + 3,\ x > 5\end{array}$

Step 2: Find Right-Side Limit

Substitute in function [Limit]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} 5 - x$
Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} 5 - x = 5 - 5 = 0$

Step 3: Find Left-Side Limit

Substitute in function [Limit]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^-} x + 3$
Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8$

∴ Since $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to 5^-} f(x)$ , then $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5} f(x) = DNE$

PLEASE HELP URGENT!! What single rigid transformation maps ABC onto A'BC'?

Feliz [49]

We notice that reflecting ABC with respect to the vertical red line, we get A'B'C'.

So, ABC is mapped onto A'B'C by a reflection.

Answer: Reflection
