Answer:

x = 5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance flying out = 12 km  (headwind)

Distance flying back = 12 km (tailwind)

total distance = 12 + 12 =24 km

wind speed = 1km/h

speed going out (with headwind) = (x - 1) km/h

speed coming back (with tailwind) = (x + 1) km/h

Time taken to go out = distance going out / speed going out

= 12 / (x-1)

Time taken to come back = distance coming back / speed coming back

= 12 / (x+1)

total time = time taken to go out + time taken to come back

5 =[ 12/(x-1) ] + [ 12/(x-1)]

expanding this, we will get

5x² - 24x - 5 = 0

solving quadratic equation, we will get

x = -1/5 (impossible because speed cannot be negative)

or

x = 5 (answer)

A home’s value increases at an average rate of 5.5% each year. The current value is $120,000. What function can be used to find
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

y=120,000(1.055)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

y=a(1+r)^x

where

y is the value of the home

x is the number of years

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

a=\$120,000\\r=5.5\%=5.5/100=0.055

substitute

y=120,000(1+0.055)^x

y=120,000(1.055)^x

Which is a perfect square a. 6^1 b. 6^2 c. 6^3 d. 6^5 (need answer now pls)
Bas_tet [7]
Hello there! 6^1 is not a perfect square. It's basically it's own number and 6 is not a perfect square. Therefore, A is out. 6^3 (216) is cubed, not squared, so C is out as well. Just by looking at the exponents, 6^2 is squared and 36 is a perfect square, so the answer is B: 6^2.
