Answer:

Speed of Jet in Still Air = 265 miles per hour

Speed of Wind = 22 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be speed of jet

and c be speed of wind

We know D = RT, where

D is distance

R is rate

T is time

For first leg:

1435 miles in 5 hours, the rate is:

Rate = 287 mph

For second leg:

1215 miles in 5 hours, the rate is:

Rate = 243 mph

So 287 is with wind and 243 against wind, thus we can write:

x + c = 287

x - c = 243

Adding gives us:

2x = 530

x = 265 miles per hour [still rate]

Speed of wind:

x + c = 287

265 + c = 287

c = 22 miles per hour [speed of wind]

Janeel has a 10-inch by 12-inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the result
Vaselesa [24]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Janeel has a 10 inch by 12 inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the results by the same amount in each dimension to post on her Web site. Janeel wants the area of the image to be one eight of the original photograph. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image. Find the dimensions of the reduced image.

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

A) (10-x)(12-x)=15

B) Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image.

Let the reduced dimensions is by x , So the new dimensions are

length=10-x\\breadth=12-x

According to question , Area of new image is :

⇒ Area = \frac{1}{8}Length(breadth)

⇒ Area = \frac{1}{8}(10)(12)

⇒ Area = 15

So the equation will be :

⇒ (10-x)(12-x)=15

b. Find the dimensions of the reduced image

Let's solve :  (10-x)(12-x)=15

⇒ 120-10x-12x+x^2=15

⇒ 120-22x+x^2=15

⇒ x^2-22x+105=0

By Quadratic formula :

⇒ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

⇒ x = \frac{22 \pm8 }{2}

⇒ x = \frac{22 +8 }{2} , x = \frac{22 -8 }{2}

⇒ x = 15 , x =7

x = 15 is rejected ! as 15 > 10 ! Side can't be negative

⇒ x =7

Therefore, Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch

What is the value of f(4) in f(x)=3x-6
vodka [1.7K]
F(4) value is 6.
I believe it would work like this:
f(x) is being turned into f(4), so 4 would equal x. Put 4 into the equation 3x-6, and you get 12-6, which gives you 6. So the value of f(4) is 6. I hope this helps!
