Answer:

500km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Speed (km/hr) = Distance / Time

Where S = Speed

D = Distance

T = Time

S = D/T

From the question, the aeroplane covered a distance of 1500 km

S = 1500/ T

ST = 1500

Time taken( T ) = 1500/S ......... Equation 1

We are told from the question that speed was increases by 100km/hr, it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time

This is expressed mathematically as:

The new speed =S + 100km/hr

The new Time taken = 1500/ S - 1/2....... Equation 2

Also since Time = Distance / Speed

The new Time taken also = 1500/ S + 100 ......... Equation 3

Step 1

We would simplify Equation 2:

Time = 1500/S - 1/2

Find the Lowest common multiple = 2

Time = (2 × 1500 - S )/ 2S

Time = 3000 - S / 2S ......... Equation 4

Step 2

Equate Equation 4 and 3 together since they are both equal to time taken

1500/ S + 100 = 3000 - S / 2S

We cross multiply

2S × 1500 = (S + 100) ( 3000 - S)

3000S = 3000S - S² + 300000 - 100S

3000S - 3000S + S² - 300000 + 100S = 0

S² + 100S - 300000 = 0

Step 3

We solve for S = Speed by using factorisation method.

S² + 100x - 300000 = 0

S² - 500S + 600S - 300000 = 0

(S² - 500S) + (600S - 300000) = 0

S(S - 500) + 600(S - 500) = 0

(S - 500) (S + 600) = 0

S - 500 = 0, S = 500

S + 600 = 0 , S = -600

Our answer cannot be in negative form, hence, the previous speed of the aeroplane = 500km/hr

Answer: U = 600 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an aeroplane covers a distance of 1500km in a certain time t at a certain speed U.

After increasing the speed by 100km/hr, that is, V = U + 100 it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time. That is t2 = t - 0.5.

From the first statement

Speed = distance/ time

Distance = speed × time

1500 = Ut

Make t the subject of the formula

t = 1500/U ..... (1)

From the second statement

Distance = speed × time

1500 = (U + 100) × ( t - 0.5 )

Open the bracket

1500 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t - 50

Collect the like terms

1550 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t .... (2)

Substitutes equation 1 into 2

1550 = 1500U/U - 0.5U + 100(1500/U)

1550 = 1500 - 0.5U + 150000/U

1550 - 1500 = (150000 - 0.5U^2)/U

Cross multiply

50U = 150000 - 0.5U^2

0.5U^2 + 50U - 150000 = 0

Divide all by 0.5

U^2 + 100U - 300000 = 0

Using completing the square method

U^2 + 100U = 300000

U^2 + 100U + 50^2 = 300000 + 50^2

(U + 50)^2 = 302500

U + 50 = sqrt(302500)

U + 50 = +/-(550)

U = 50 + 550 or 50 - 550

U = 600 or - 500

Since U is of the same direction, it is

positive. Therefore, the previous speed of the aeroplane is 600 m/s

11 The sides of two similar triangle are in a ratio of 5:6. The area of the larger triangle is 108.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The area of the smaller triangle is 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the ratio of the sides of the similar triangle are 5 : 6

The area if the larger triangle = 108

let us assume that the area of the smaller triangle = m

By the Theorem:

In two similar triangles, the ratio of the areas of similar triangles is the square of the ratio of their sides.

Similarly, here

[tex](\frac{5}{6}) ^2  = \frac{m}{108}[/tex]

⇒\frac{(5)^2}{(6)^2}   = \frac{m}{108}

or, \frac{25}{36}   = \frac{m}{108}  \implies m = \frac{108 \times 25}{36}  = 75

⇒ m = 75

Hence, the area of the smaller triangle is 75.

4. Identify the graph of the solution set of 9 > 3 + 2x.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

9 > 3 + 2x

6 > 2x

3 > x

or

x < 3

and that means 3 is NOT included (otherwise there must be a smaller or equal sign). hence A is the right answer.

If you get a sneak peak at the salary list of your job and realize you are in the lowest bracket, which is the lowest 1%, what i
hoa [83]

Answer:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the salary, and for this case we can assume that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(48000,5500)  

Where \mu=48000 and \sigma=5500

And we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.99   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.01 of the area on the left and 0.99 of the area on the right it's z=-2.33. On this case P(Z<-2.33)=0.01 and P(z>-2.33)=0.99

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary
