A plane can fly 475 miles against the wind in the same amount of time that it can fly 675 miles with the wind. If the wind speed

is 40 mph, find the speed of the plane in still air.

Answer:

230 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of plane in still air be x. Therefore, when against the wind speed, the resultant speed is x-40 mph. Equally, when with the wind speed, the resultant speed is x+40 mph. The time is the same hence we can express these as \frac {475}{x-40}=\frac {675}{x+40}

By cross multiplication

675(x-40)=475(x+40)

675x-27000=475x+19000

200x=46000

X=46000/200=230 mph

Ming throws a stone off a bridge into a river below.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

1 seconds after being thrown, the stone reaches its max height

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabolic (quadratic) equation is:

h(x)=-5(x-1)^2+45

Lets expand this in the form ax^2+bx+c, so we have:

h(x)=-5(x-1)^2+45\\h(x)=-5(x^2-2x+1)+45\\h(x)=-5x^2+10x-5+45\\h(x)=-5x^2+10x+40

We can say the values of a,b, and c, now to be:

a = -5

b = 10

c = 40

The number of seconds at which the max would occur is given by the point, x, at:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

We know a and b, let's find the seconds, x,

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{10}{2(-5)}=-\frac{10}{-10}=--1=1

Hence,

1 seconds after being thrown, the stone reach its max height
