Plane A is descending toward the local airport, and plane B is ascending from the same airport. Plane A is descending at a rate

of 2,500 feet per minute. Plane B is ascending at a rate of 4,000 feet per minute. If plane A is currently at an altitude of 14,000 feet and plane B is at an altitude of 1,000 feet, how long will it take them to be at the same altitude? The equation representing plane A’s descent is y = -2,500x + 14,000. The equation representing plane B’s ascent is y = 4,000x + 1,000. In both equations, y represents altitude and x represents time in minutes.

Answer: 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Plane A's descent :

y = -2,500x + 14,000

Plane B's Ascent :

y = 4,000x + 1,000

where y = altitude x = minute

Time to be at the same altitude :

Being at the same altitude means ;

Plane A's descent = Plane B's Ascent

-2,500x + 14,000 = 4,000x + 1,000

-2500x - 4000x = 1000 - 14000

-6500x = - 13000

x = 13000 / 6500

x = 2

x = 2minutes.

What is the difference? startfraction 2 x 5 over x squared minus 3 x endfraction minus startfraction 3 x 5 over x cubed minus 9
weeeeeb [17]

The difference of the expression \frac{2x^5}{x^2 - 3x} - \frac{3x^5}{x^3 - 9x} is \frac{2x^5(x + 3) - 3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

<h3>How to determine the difference?</h3>

The expression is given as:

\frac{2x^5}{x^2 - 3x} - \frac{3x^5}{x^3 - 9x}

Factor the denominators of the expressions:

\frac{2x^5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x^5}{x(x^2 - 9)}

Apply the difference of two squares to x² - 9

\frac{2x^5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

Take LCM

\frac{2x^5(x + 3) - 3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

Hence, the difference of the expression \frac{2x^5}{x^2 - 3x} - \frac{3x^5}{x^3 - 9x} is \frac{2x^5(x + 3) - 3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

4x - 6 = 22<br> Answer ?
Alex777 [14]

4x-6= 22

Move -6 to the other side.

Sign changes from -6 to +6.

4x-6+6= 22+6

4x= 22+6

4x= 28

Divide by 4 for both sides

4x/4= 28/4

x= 7

Answer : x= 7
