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]

y+8 = \frac{1}{2}(x-7) is equivalent to <span>y-(-8) = \frac{1}{2}(x-7)

That is in the form </span><span>y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1}) which is point slope form

In this case,

m = 1/2 is the slope
(x1,y1) = (7,-8) is the point the line goes through</span>

Which of the following statements are true about the graph of f(x)= csc x? select all that apply
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

c. There is a vertical asymptote at x = pie

d. f(x) is undefined when sin x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x)=\csc(x).

This is the reciprocal of the sine function;

f(x)=\frac{1}{\sin(x)}

This function is not defined when

sin(x)=0

This implies that there is a vertical asymptote at x=\pi because \sin(\pi)=0.
