Answer:

Plane speed = 40 m/s.

Wind speed = 300 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = Y

And the speed of the wind = X

If the plane then travel 340 miles per hour with the wind, that means the plane and the wind are moving in the same direction. Therefore,

X + Y = 340 ..... ( 1 )

Also, 260 miles per hour against the wind. That is, the plane is moving opposite to the direction of the wind. Therefore,

X - Y = 260 ..... ( 2 )

Solve the two equations simultaneously by addition. That will eliminate Y

X + Y = 340

X - Y = 260

2X = 600

X = 600/2

X = 300 m/s

Substitutes X in equation (1)

300 + Y = 340

Make Y the subject of formula by collecting the like terms

Y = 340 - 300

Y = 40 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the plane is 40 m/s. While the speed of the wind is 300 m/s.

3x - 3y = -12      ------------- (1)
7x + 2y = -19     --------------(2)

(1) x 2 : 6x - 6y = - 24       ----------- (1a)
(2) x 3 : 21x + 6y = -57     ----------- (2a)

(1a) + (2a) : 27x =  - 81
                        x = - 3

Sub x = -3 into (1) :  3(-3) - 3y = - 12 
                                               y = - 12  + 9
                                               y = - 3

What is the end behavior of the graph?
hichkok12 [17]
Imagine that this curve is a roller coaster. A dot on the roller coaster would be a car for a person to sit in, so to speak. As this car moves to the right, the car ultimately moves downward. So this means that as x gets larger, y gets smaller. Put another way: as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

Similarly, we can move the other way to work our way to the left. Moving to the left has us go up this time. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity

These two facts point to choice B as the final answer
