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]

On a piece of paper, graph f(x) = 4 x (0.5)^x
tangare [24]

The complete question is

"On a piece of paper, graph f(x) = 4. (0.5)^x Then determine which answer choice matches the graph you drew."

The given function is an exponential function. The graph of option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What are exponential functions?</h3>

When the expression of function is such that it involves the input to be present as an exponent (power) of some constant, then such function is called exponential function.

There usual form is specified below. They are written in several such equivalent forms.

For example, y^x

, where a is a constant is an exponential function.

The function is given as

f(x) = 4. (0.5)^x

AS we can see that the given function is an exponential function.

Thus, the graph of option C is the correct answer.

Slope is the difference in height/difference in distance.

starting from the higher point to the lower point.

So the equation will be

(12-6)/6=6/6=1

The slope of the rope is 1 according to the given information

Hailey rolls a twelve sided die, to choose a random number from one to twelve. What is the probability that the number hailey ro
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

12 sided die has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 as the sides.

Two digits are 10, 11, and 12.

Even numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.

So two digits or even numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12. (7 total numbers)

P(Two digits or even) = 7/12
