<span>Let us start with the plane flying east at a slower speed. Let us assume that its speed is x kilometers per hour. After 4 hours, it will have traveled 4*x = 4x kilometers. Now let us calculate the speed of the plane flying west. It is faster by 75 kilometers per hour than the other plane. So its speed per hour is x+75 kilometers per hour. After 4 hours, it will have traveled 4( x+75) = 4x+300 kilometers. The total distance traveled by both the planes is 5460 kilometers. In other words, 4x+4x+300 =5460 kilometers. Now simplify the equation: 8x + 300 = 5460 8x = 5460 - 300 8x = 5160 x = 5160/8 645. x is the speed of the plane flying east. It is 645 kilometers. x + 75 is the speed of the plane flying west. It is 645 + 75 = 720 kilometers.</span>

What are a) the ratio of the perimeters and b) the ratio of the ratio of the areas of the larger figure to the smaller figure
vfiekz [6]
Assuming that the figures given are square such that the scale factor between them is equal to 28/8 which can be further simplified into 7/2. The ratio of the perimeter is also equal to this value, 7/2. However, the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of this value giving us an answer of 49/4.

Estimate the area under the curve f(x) = x2 + 1 from x = 0 to x = 6 by using three circumscribed (over the curve) rectangles. An
BaLLatris [955]
1) split the range in three identical invervals of size [6 - 0] / 3 = 2

2) form three rectangles

2a) First rectangle: base 2, height f(2) = 2^2 + 1 = 5

     area 1 = base * height = 2 * 5 = 10

2b) second rectangle: base 2, height f(2+2) = 4^2 + 1 = 17

     area 2 = 2 * 17 = 34

2c) third rectangle: base 2 height f(4+2) = 6^2 + 1 = 37

     area 3 = 2*37 = 74

3) total area = area 1 + area 2 + area 3 = 10 + 34 + 74 =  118
