An airplane encountered a head wind during a flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh which took 5 hours and 30 minutes. The retur

n flight took 5 hours. If the distance from Joppetown to Jawsburgh is 2700 ​miles, find the airspeed of the plane​ (the speed of the plane in still​ air) and the speed of the​ wind, assuming both remain constant.

Answer: a) 490.91 mph

b) 540 mph

c) speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh took 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Time t = 5.5hours

Distance = 2700 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Speed = 2700/5.5

Speed = 490.91 mph

The return flight took 5 hours of the same distance from = 2700 ​miles

Speed = 2700/5 = 540 mph

speed of the​ wind = the difference in the two speed

speed of the​ wind = 450 - 490.91

speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Speed = 540m/s

Write the slope and y intercept of each equation:
vichka [17]

Answer:

A) slope = 2, y-intercept = -6

B) slope = -4, y-intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A) y = 2x - 6

The equation for a line is y = mx + b, where <em>m</em> represents the slope, and <em>b</em> represents the y-intercept. So, to find the slope and y-intercept, all we have to do is look at the line's equation.

Here, the <em>m </em>is 2, so the slope is 2

The <em>b</em> is -6, so the y-intercept is -6

B) y = -4x + 6

Here, the <em>m</em> is -4, so the slope is -4

The <em>b </em>is 6, so the slope is 6

You would graph the equation y = 4x + 6 by plotting a point at the y-intercept of the line, which would be 6. Then, for every time you move one space to the right, you'd plot a point four spaces up to show the slope of four.

Factor 21c+24.<br> Write your answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1.<br> use ()
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The required answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1 will be:

21c+24=3\left(7c+8\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

21c+24

Determining the factor

21c+24

  • Rewrite 24 as 3 · 8
  • Rewrite 21 as 3 · 7

so the expression becomes

21c+24=3\cdot \:\:7c+3\cdot \:\:8

Factor out the common term 3

             =3\left(7c+8\right)

Therefore, the required answer as a product with a whole number greater than 1 will be:

21c+24=3\left(7c+8\right)
