Answer:

The speed of the jet is 347 mph and the  speed of the wind is 18 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

x = the speed of the jet in still air.

y = the speed of the wind

we know that the speed is equal to:

v = d / t

therefore the distance would be:

d = v * t

if we replace with the information of the exercise we have:

3 * (x + y) = 1095

3 * (x - y) = 987

we must solve this system of equations, add both equations and we are left:

3 * x + 3 * y = 1095

3 * x - 3 * y = 987

3 * x + 3 * y + 3 * x - 3 * y = 1095 + 987

6 * x = 2082

x = 2082/6 = 347

now to calculate y, we replace:

3 * (347 + y) = 1095

1041 + 3 * y = 1095

3 * y = 1095 - 1041

y = 54/3 = 18

The speed of the jet is 347 mph and the  speed of the wind is 18 mph.

Answer:

type 2 in the first box,

13/4 in the second box, and

-9/8 in the third one

Step-by-step explanation:Notice that you are asked to write the following quadratic expression in vertex form, so you need to find the "x" value of the vertex, and then the "y" value of the vertex:

x_{vertex}= -b/2a

Which in our case is: -13/4

and the value of the y for the vertex is obtained using the functional expression when x equals -13/4:

f(-13/4)= -9/8

Then your expression for this quadratic should be:

f(x)=2\,(x+\frac{13}{4} )^2+(-\frac{9}{8})

Then type 2 in the first box, 13/4 in the second box, and -9/8 in the third one

BRAINLIEST.In which quadrant does the point (-5, 21) lie?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Point (-5,21) would end up in quadrant II (2).

Step-by-step explanation:

It would end up in quadrant 2 because x=-5 which means it would go left.

y=21 which means it would go up.

Because of this, the point would end up in the top left of the graph which is quadrant 2.
