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 explict rule for the sequence 12,22,32,42​
icang [17]

The explicit rule for given sequence is:

a_n=2+10n

Further explanation:

We have to determine first of all if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

  • If the difference of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is arithmetic sequence
  • If the ratio of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is geometric sequence

Given sequence is:

12,22,32,42​

a_1=12\\a_2=22\\a_3=32\\.......\\Let\\d=Common\ difference\\d=a_2-a_1=22-12=10\\d=a_3-a_2=32-22=10

The common difference is 10 which is same for all consecutive terms. So the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

The general formula for arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\Here,\\a_n\ is\ the\ nth\ term\\a_1\ is\ the\ first\ term\\d\ is\ the\ common\ difference

Putting the values of a1 and d

a_n= 12+(n-1)(10)\\a_n=12+10n-10\\a_n=2+10n

The explicit rule for given sequence is:

a_n=2+10n

To solve this question, you need to do 421 divided by 9.

421 divided by 9 will get you a long number, which is 46.7777778.

Round your number up by the hundredths place. You will get 46.78.

The average speed in miles per hour would be 46.78 MPH.
