Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

R is the speed of the plane

S is the speed of the wind

(R-S)*7 = 7490 <--- against the wind

(R+s)*9 = 11610 <--- with the wind

Distributes:

7R - 7S  = 7490

9R + 9S = 11610

Multiplies the top equation by 9

and the bottom equation by 7

63R - 63S = 67410

63R + 63s = 81270

126R = 148680

R=1180

Plugs into original first equation

(R-S)*7 = 7490

(1180-s)*7 = 7490

 1180 - s = 7490/7

1180 - s = 1070

-s = -110

s = 110

The speed of the plane in still air is 1180

The spped of the wind is 110

This is awfully fast.

Answer:

177.82397947 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

to find height of of the pole:

tan(44 degrees)=x/180

add the height of the person

x=(180tan(44 degrees) )+4

x=177.82397947 ft

The points (–8, –4) and (6, 10) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
elena55 [62]
First we need to use two point to find the slope (m)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
X1=-8
Y1=-4
X2=6
Y2=10

m=(10-(-4))/(6-(-8))
m=(10+4)/(6+8)
m=14/14
m=1

Eq of the line formula :
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
Y-(-4)=1(x-(-8))
Y+4=x+8
Y=x+4

The graph has a y-intercept of 2 and is shifted to the right 6 from the parent function.

The parent function, y=√x, looks like a parabola laid on its side.  We generally only consider the positive square root unless told otherwise.  Since we have √(x-6) instead of just √x, the graph is shifted to the right 6 units.  The +2 at the end of the equation shifts the graph up 2.
