A represents the speed of the aircraft.
b represents the speed of the bus.

a=2b-5
114/b=218/a

Substitution method

114/b=218/(2b-5)

(2b-5)*(114/b)= 218

(228b-570)/b = 218

228b-570= 218b

228b-218b=570

10b= 570

b=57

Plug the value of b into one of the original equations.

a=2(57)-5
a=114-5
a=109

Final answer:
Average speed of plane= 109
Average speed of bus= 57

What is the expression in factored form? 4x^2+11x+6<br><br>Show work please!!
Irina18 [472]
To solve this I'm going to split the middle term.
First multiply the first and last terms:
24x^2
So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x.
This would be 3x and 8x
Rewrite the problem as
4x^2+3x+8x+6
Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms
4x^2 and 8x
and
3x and 6
Factor by grouping
Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2)
Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2)
Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2)
Hope this helps.

Three fair coins are tossed. If all land "heads," the player wins $10, and if exactly two land heads, the player wins $5. If it
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

<u>After four games, a player can lose up to $ 16 to win up to $ 26. These are the probabilities for every game:</u>

<u>1/8 or 12.5% of landing three "heads"</u>

<u>3/8 or 37.5% of landing two "heads"</u>

<u>4/8 or 50% of landing no or only one "head".</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

If three coins land "heads" the player wins $ 10

If two coins land "heads" the player wins $ 5

Cost of playing = $ 4

2.  What is the player's expected outcome after four games?

Probability of two coins out of three lands "heads" = 3/8

Probability of three coins out of three lands "heads" = 1/8

Now, let's calculate the player's expected outcome, as follows:

Four games:

Cost = 4 * 4 = $ 16

Worst-case scenario: No wins

Best-case scenario: 4 out of 4 of $ 10 win

Worst-case scenario profit or loss = 0 - 16 = Loss of $ 16

Best-case scenario profit or loss = 40 - 16 = Profit of $ 24

After four games, a player can lose up to $ 16 to win up to $ 26. These are the probabilities for every game:

1/8 or 12.5% of landing three "heads"

3/8 or 37.5% of landing two "heads"

4/8 or 50% of landing no or only one "head".

Sketch the region enclosed by the given curves. Decide whether to integrate with respect to x or y. Draw a typical approximating
natulia [17]

Answer:

V=25088π vu

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the curves are a function of "y" it is decided to take the axis of rotation as y

, according to the graph 1 the cutoff points of f(y)₁ and f(y)₂ are ±2

f(y)₁ = 7y²-28;  f(y)₂=28-7y²

y=0;   x=28-0 ⇒ x=28

x=0;   0 = 7y²-28 ⇒ 7y²=28 ⇒ y²= 28/7 =4 ⇒ y=√4 =±2

Knowing that the volume of a solid of revolution  V=πR²h, where R²=(r₁-r₂) and h=dy then:

dV=π(7y²-28-(28-7y²))²dy ⇒dV=π(7y²-28-28+7y²)²dy = 4π(7y²-28)²dy

dV=4π(49y⁴-392y²+784)dy integrating on both sides

∫dV=4π∫(49y⁴-392y²+784)dy ⇒ solving  ∫(49y⁴-392y²+784)dy

49∫y⁴dy-392∫y²dy+784∫dy =

V=4π( 49\frac{y^{5} }{5}-392\frac{y^{3}}{3}+784y ) evaluated -2≤y≤2, or 2(0≤y≤2), also

V=8\pi(49\frac{2^{5} }{5}-392\frac{2^{3} }{3}+784.2)  ⇒ V=25088π vu
