Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let speed of plane be x

speed of wind be c

Also note D = RT, where

D is distance and R is rate and T is time

<u>For First Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x - c) * 2 = D

2x - 2c = D

<u>For Second Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x+c)*1.5 = D

1.5x + 1.5c = D

We can equate and write:

2x - 2c = 1.5x + 1.5c

0.5x = 3.5c

We know Speed of Wind, c, is 30, so we have:

0.5x = 3.5(30)

0.5x = 105

x = 105/0.5 = 210 [speed of airplane]

We know distance is

D = 2x - 2c

D = 2(210) - 2(30)

D = 420 - 60

D = 360 miles

The distance is 360 miles

A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a
matrenka [14]

Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, Let us identify the variables in the functions.

The function states that for every n ball, the price is $0.80. Plus the $5.50.

Now that we know what the function stands for, we can substitute 10 into n, and remove the entrance fee of $5.50.

P=0.80n

This gives us $8, which means the price for 10 balls not including the entrance fee is $8.

Given P space equals space P subscript 0 space plus space rho g h, your objective is to determine the uncertainty of P by measur
son4ous [18]

Answer:

the g's contributing term for the overall uncertainty of P is  dP_g =  [\frac{dg}{g}]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The pressure is   P  = P_o + \rho gh

The first step in determining the uncertainty of P in by obtaining the terms in the equation contributing to it uncertainty and to do that we take the Ln of both sides of the equation

    ln P  = lnP_o + ln(\rho gh )

=>   ln P  = lnP_o + ln \rho + ln g  + ln h

Then the next step is to differentiate both sides of the equation

    \frac{d(ln P)}{dP}  =  \frac{d(ln P_o)}{dP_o} + \frac{d(ln \rho)}{d\rho} +\frac{d(ln g)}{dg} + \frac{d(ln h)}{dh}

=>    \frac{dP}{P}  =  \frac{dP_o}{P_o} + \frac{d \rho}{\rho} +\frac{d g}{g} + \frac{d h}{h}

We asked to obtain the contribution of the term g to the uncertainty of P

This can deduced from the above equation as

     dP_g =  [\frac{dg}{g}] P

Which statement best describes the function below?
harina [27]

Answer:

  • D. It is a many-to-one function

Step-by-step explanation:

  • One-t<em>o-one if every y value has exactly one x value mapped onto it</em>
  • <em>Many-to-one if there are y values that have more than one x value mapped onto them.</em>

We have a function that is of degree 3, so it has 3 x-intercepts which means there are points (x₁, 0), (x₂, 0), (x₃, 0), so it is a many-to-one function

Correct option is D
