Two planes just took off from Charlotte NC. The first plane is traveling 1.5 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling

in the same direction for 2.5 hours, they are 127.5 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane?

Givens

Slower plane

r = r

t = 2.5 hours

d = d

Faster Plane

r_faster = 1.5 * r

t = 2.5 hours

d1 = d + 127.5

The  time is the same for both

t = d/r

d1/r1 = d/r

(d+ 127.5)/1.5r = d/r   Multiply each side by r

(d + 127.5)/1.5 = d       Multiply both sides by 1.5

d + 127.5 = 1.5d          Subtract d from both sides.

127.5 = 1.5d - d    

127.5 = 0.5d              Divide by 0.5

127.5 / 0.5 = d

255 = d

Now you can go back and figure out the rates.

First find d1

d1 = d + 127.5

d1 = 255 + 127.5

d1 = 382.5

<em><u>Rate of the slower plane</u></em>

d = 255

t = 2.5 hours

r = d/t

r = 255/2.5

r = 102 miles per hour.

<em><u>Faster plane</u></em>

d1 = 382.5 miles

t = 2.5 hours

r1 = d/t

r1 = 382.5/2.5 = 153 miles per hour.

A dolphin jumped up out of the water and back into the water in a parabolic path. (H) height (t) seconds . H=-8(t-0.5)^2+2 . How
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

using the vertex formula of a quadratic,

a(x-h)^{2} + k, where (h,k) is the vertex

h = -8(t-0.5)^{2}+2    h is height and t is time in seconds

the vertex (maximum height) of the dolphin is (h,k) or (0.5, 2)  

Height of 1/2

time of 2 seconds

it will take 2 additional seconds to reach the water again.

this can also be solved using quadratic equation, but since it was already set up in vertex form, i'd use that.
