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)

What is the value of (-7 + 3i) - (2-6i)?
Doss [256]

Answer:

9 (i - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-7 + 3 i - (-6 i + 2)

-(2 - 6 i) = -2 + 6 i:

6 i - 2 - 7 + 3 i

-2 + 6 i - 7 + 3 i = (6 i + 3 i) + (-2 - 7) = -9 + 9 i:

9 i - 9

Factor 9 out of 9 i - 9 giving 9 (i - 1):

Answer:  9 (i - 1)

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

x^{2}-10x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the question as (x-5)*(x-5).

Using the FOIL Method (First, Outside, Inside, Last):

x^{2}-5x-5x+25

This simplifies to x^{2}-10x+25
