<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>

Find the equation of the line through (0,4) perpendicular to the line y = 3x
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

Gradient of given line= 3.

(Gradient of line)(3)= -1

3m= -1

m= -  \frac{1}{3}

subst. m= -  \frac{1}{3} into the equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=0, y=4,

4 =  -  \frac{1}{ 3} (0) + c \\ 4 = c \\ c = 4

Thus the equation of the line is y =  -\frac{1}{3} x + 4.

Given the regular octagon, what is the length of any side?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:110

Step-by-step explanation:x^2+17x=15x+35

x^2+17x-15x-35=0

x^2+2x-35=0

delta=2^2-4*1*(-35)=4+140=144

x1=(-2+V144)/2=(-2+12)/2=10/2

x=5

so 15*5+35=75+35=110
