Answer: rate of the plane is 197.5 mph

rate of wind is 4.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate of the plane in calm air.

Let y represent the rate of the wind.

Flying with the wind, a small plane flew 404 mi in 2 h. This means that the total speed with which the plane flew is (x + y) mph.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by the plane while flying with the wind is

404 = 2(x + y)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

202 = x + y- - - - - - - - - - - 1

Flying against the wind, the plane could fly only 386 mi in the same amount of time. This means that the total speed at which the plane flew is (x - y) mph.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by the plane while flying against the wind is

386 = 2(x - y)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

193 = x - y- - - - - - - - - - - 2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

395 = 2x

x = 395/2

x = 197.5

Substituting x = 197.5 into equation 1, it becomes

202 = 197.5 + y

y = 202 - 197.5

y = 4.5

Determine whether each relation is a function. Give the domain and range for each relation.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Not a function

Domain: {3,4}

Range: {4,5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation where each input has its own output. In other words if the x value has multiple corresponding y values then the relation is not a function

For the relation given {(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)} the x value 3 and 4 have more than one corresponding y value therefore the relation shown is not a function

Now let's find the domain and range.

Domain is the set of x values in a relation.

The x values of the given relation are 3 and 4 so the domain is {3,4}

The range is the set of y values in a relation

The y value of the given relation include 4 and 5

So the range would be {4,5}

Notes:

The values of x and y should be written from least to greatest when writing them out as domain and range.

They should be written inside of brackets

Do not repeat numbers when writing the domain and range

AveGali [126]
Ok so add all of them together and you get 305 then divide it by how many numbers there are for the mean and you get 61 then add all of the diffrences from each number to the mean and we get 6 then 61 divided by 6 gets us 10.1 but round it to 10. hope this helped.

I need help!!! I’ll mark you brainliest<br> This is timed!!
devlian [24]

Answer:

Using the inverse composition rule you know that if (fog)=x and (gof)=x then the functions are inverses.

( g o f ) = ( 7 x + 1 ) − 1 7  this will result in (gof)=x ( f o g) = 7 x − 1 7 +1 = x − 1 + 1 =x

graphically you can check this if it seems that the functions are reflected over the line x=y.
