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.

X^2=4x-15 solve with Quadratic formula
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x=2+i\sqrt{11}

x=2-i\sqrt{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} =4x-15 -------> x^{2}-4x+15=0

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^{2}-4x+15=0

so

a=1\\b=-4\\c=15

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-(-4)(+/-)\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(1)(15)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{16-60}} {2}

Remember that

i=\sqrt{-1}

x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{-44}} {2}

x=\frac{4(+/-)2i\sqrt{11}} {2}

x=\frac{4(+)2i\sqrt{11}}{2}=2+i\sqrt{11}

x=\frac{4(-)2i\sqrt{11}}{2}=2-i\sqrt{11}
