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

Find the slope of the line.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Well You can tell right away its a positive line since its rising from left to right so the answer has to be positive

If the slope were to be 4 the line would be a Little more titleted becuasea slope of 4 is going up 4 and going tot he right 1.

ANd you can’t heck from any given point and just try all the positivw possibilties.

Or you can just use rise over run, start form a point, rise which means go up until you reach the second layer of the line and just run (go To The right) until you hit a point.

You’ll get 1/4

An agricultural sprinkler distributes water in a circular pattern of radius 110 ft. It supplies water to a depth of e−r feet per
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

the total amount of water supplier per hour to the region within a circle of radius R=110 ( that is from distance r, 0<r<110)

W(R) = 2\pi [1-(R+1)e^{-R}]

Step-by-step explanation:

if f(r) describes the water supplied at a distance r , the total amount supplied inside a region that goes from 0 until the circle of radius R, is the sum of all f(r) values from 0 until R, that is the integral value over these limits.

The formula deduction can be found in the attached picture

There is an "r" that multiplies e^-r as result of changing from rectangular coordinates to polar ones.(dx*dy --> r*dr*da)

In the diagram below, m A = 59°, m B = 55° and m C = 78°. Find m D.​
masya89 [10]

Answer:

D=36

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles of the triangle add up to 180. Subtract 180-59-55=66

Then the missing measurement is a vertical which means that E=66.

So then 180-78-66=36
