Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let speed of plane in still air =x

speed of wind=y

(x-y)6=3000

x-y=3000/6=500   ...(1)

(x+y)5=3000

x+y=3000/5=600   ...(2)

adding (1) and (2)

2x=1100

x=1100/2=550

550 +y=600

y=600-550=50

speed of plane in still air=550 m/hr

speed of wind=50 m/hr

Answer:

  • plane: 550 mph
  • wind: 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If p and w represent the speeds of the plane and wind, respectively, the speed into the wind is ...

  p - w = (3000 mi)/(6 h) = 500 mi/h

And, the speed with the wind is ...

  p + w = (3000 mi)/(5 h) = 600 mi/h

Adding these two equations gives us ...

  2p = 1100 mi/h

  p = 550 mi/h . . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the wind speed is ...

  w = 600 mi/h - p = (600 -550) mi/h

  w = 50 mi/h

The rate of the plane in still air is 550 mi/h; the rate of the wind is 50 mi/h.

Answer:

y = 9\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

sin45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{9}{y}

Multiply both sides by y

y × sin45° = 9, that is

y × \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } = 9

Multiply both sides by \sqrt{2}

y = 9\sqrt{2}

Identify an equation in point slope form for the line parallel to y=1/2x-7 that passes through (-3,-2)
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a straight line is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where

m represents slope of the line

y1 represents the initial value of y

x1 represents the initial value of x

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. From the equation of the given line, slope = 1/2

Therefore,

m = 1/2

x1 = - 3

y1 = - 2

Substituting into the point slope equation, it becomes

y - - 2 = 1/2(x - - 3)

y + 2 = 1/2(x + 3)

The equation is

y + 2 = 1/2(x + 3)
