Answer:

Rate of plane in still air = 1120 km/h

Rate of wind = 180 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rate (speed) of the plane in still air = u km/h

Let the rate (speed) of the wind = v km/h

Formula for speed is:

Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Given that against the wind, airplane travels 7520 km in 8 hours.

The speed against the wind will be slower so,

Against the wind, speed = (u -v ) km/h

Using above formula:

(u-v) = \dfrac{7520}{8} km/h\\(u-v) = 940 km/h ..... (1)

Given that with the wind, airplane travels 6500 km in 5 hours.

The speed with the wind will be faster so,

With the wind, speed = (u +v ) km/h

Using above formula:

(u+v) = \dfrac{6520}{5} km/h\\(u+v) = 1300 km/h ..... (2)

Adding (1) and (2) to solve for u and v:

2u = 2240\\\Rightarrow u = 1120\ km/h

Putting u in (1):

1120-u=940\\\Rightarrow u = 180\ km/h

So, the answers are:

<em>Rate of plane in still air = 1120 km/h</em>

<em>Rate of wind = 180 km/h</em>

<em></em>

What are the quotient and remainder of (x^5-x^3+-5) divided by (x-2)
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

x⁴+2x³ +3x²+6x +12 r. \dfrac{19}{x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this through synthetic division. It is a shorthand way of dividing polynomials.

First you need to make your divisor equal to zero so you can solve for what goes into the division box:

x - 2 = 0 →     x = 2

The next step is to arrange your polynomials in descending powers. All missing terms, you will put in a zero.

x⁵ - x³ + (-5)   →  x⁵ + 0x⁴- x³ + 0x² + 0x + (-5)

Now you can proceed to synthetic division. Make an upside down division box with the divisor outside and the coefficients of the dividend listed, along with their sign. Leave a space below the divident

+2 |   +1     0     -1     0     0     -5

    |<u>                                              </u>

Next you bring down the first coefficient:

+2 |   +1     0     -1     0     0     -5

    |<u>                                              </u>

        +1    

Then you multiply it by the divisor and write the product under the next coefficient:

+2 |   +1     0     -1     0     0     -5

    |<u>           +2                                   </u>

        +1    

Next add the column and put the sum below it:

+2 |   +1     0     -1     0     0     -5

    |<u>          +2                                   </u>

        +1    +2

Then multiply again and repeat until you reach the last coefficient:

+2 |   +1     0     -1     0     0     -5

    |<u>          +2    +4   +6   +12   +24 </u>

        +1    +2    +3   +6   +12    +19

Now that you have your results, add  in the x and their powers. The powers will start with the highest power but 1 less than the dividend. Since the dividend's highest power is 5, then the quotient's highest power will be 4. Then write it in descending order :

+1x⁴    +2x³    +3x²   +6x   +12   +19

Now the last coefficient is your remainder. So your results will be:

x⁴+2x³ +3x²+6x +12 r. \dfrac{19}{x-2}

A box of oat cereal costs $3.90 for 15 ounces. A box of rice of cereal costs $3.30 for 11 ounces. Which box of cereal costs less
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 15 ounces of oat cereal box = $3.90

Cost of 11 ounces of rice box = $3.30

To compare the unit prices of the the boxes.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the unit prices:

If 15 ounce of oat box cost =$3.90

∴ 1 ounce of oat cereal would cost = \$\frac{3.90}{15}=\$0.26

∴ Per ounce cost of oat cereal = $0.26

If 11 ounce of rice box cost =$3.30

∴ 1 ounce of rice would cost = \$\frac{3.30}{11}=\$0.3

∴ Per ounce cost of rice = $0.3

Difference in unit costs of oat and rice = \$0.3-\$0.26=\$0.04

On comparing the the unit costs of oats and rice, we find out that the cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.
