Answer:

Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the time taken by the aircraft = 5 hours

Let the distance covered = X

Speed = V

Time taken by the ship = 7 hours

Let the distance covered = Y

Speed = 8V

Since it is 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier.

Using the speed formula

Speed = distance/time

Distance = speed × time

For the aircraft;

X = 5V

For the ship:

Y = 7 × 8V = 56V

Since they are 303km distance apart,

X + Y = 303

5V + 56V = 303

61V = 303

V = 303/61

V = 4.97 km/h

Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h

How are the solution sets to s<3 and |s|<3 different ?
Contact [7]

Answer:

they are different because of the mode sign on the second 's',

which if you are wondering what it stands for,

it represents only the magnitude of the value needed, not its sign,

let the assumed value of s be -5,

for example iin the first case, s < 3

hence s = -5, and it is true for s < 3

OR

if we take the second case, lsl < 3

that would be s = 5 [ not -5], which would not be true for lsl < 3

i hope u understood it,

if any more questions...please ask :)
