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

A. Because you would have to find the common denominator, which in this case is 24. You would change 2 1/3 to 2 8/24, 1 1/8 to 1 3/24 and 1 3/4 to 1 18/24. Add these all up and you get 5 5/24.

Does anyone know how to <br> Solve the system of equations.<br><br> ​<br><br> ​ −3x+y=2<br> 7x−8y=1
Fantom [35]
You could use the substitution method. in this you’ll solve one equation for one variable. we’ll do the first one for y.
add 3x to both sides, so y = 3x + 2
then add that into the other equation for y.
7x - 8(3x +2) = 1
7x- 24x - 16 = 1
-17x - 16 = 1
-17x = 17
x= -1
now that you know what x is, you can find out y with the equation we made earlier. y = 3x+2
y = 3(-1) + 2
y = -3 + 2
y = -1

Determine the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, and constant. An absolute value function is shown facin
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Increasing on: x\:

Decreasing on: x\:>\:-1

Constant at : x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given absolute value function is f(x)=|x+1|.

A function is said to be increasing if for all x_1\:>\:x_0,  f(x_1)\:>\:f(x_0)

From the graph, we can observe that the graph has a positive slope for all x-values less than -1. This implies that the interval of increase is x\: or (-\infty,-1)

We can also observe that, the slope of this function is negative on the interval:x\:>\:-1 or (-1,\infty).

At x=-1, the function is neither increasing nor decreasing. We say the function is constant at x=-1
