Answer: The plane had traveled about 264 miles before turning back. The average speed was 230 mph

Step-by-step explanation: 230 - 10 = 220 speed outgoing

230+10 = 240 speed returning

Average speed (220+240)÷2= 460/2 =230 mph (needless to calculate!) Multiplied by total time 2.3 hours = 529 miles total distance.

Traveling the entire distance at 220mph would take about 2.4 hours. Traveling the entire distance at 240mph would take about 2.2 hours, a difference of .20 hours. Cut those times in half:

Traveling at 220mph for 1.2 hours would cover about 264 miles.

Traveling at 240mph for 1.1 hours would cover about 264 miles.

It adds up to 528 miles. The plane can't turn instantly, so figure the turn took the missing mile!

A soda machine takes 3 seconds to fill a 15-ounce cup. If t represents the time in seconds, which equation can you use to find h

Svet_ta [14]

Information we know:

a 15 ounce cup takes 3 second to fill

determine variables:

x=3

y=15

rate:

y/x=3/15= 0.2

fixture an equation:

y=kx

y=0.2x

plug in 40 for x:

y=0.2(40)

Thus, it should take 8 seconds to fill a 40-ounce cup of soda.

Answer:

$\huge\purple{ x^2 +(y+2)^2 = 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle is centred at (0, -2)

-> h = 0 & k = - 2

radius of the circle (r) = y-coordinate of the center = - 2

Equation of circle in standard form is given as:

$(x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2$

Plugging the values of h, k and r in the above equation, we find:

$(x-0)^2 +[y-(-2)]^2 = (-2)^2$

$\implies\huge\orange{ x^2 +(y+2)^2 = 4}$

This is the required equation of circle.
