Answer:

the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The values are missing in the given information in the question.

To able to solve this question, we will make some assumptions.

Let's assume that:

The airplane heading into the wind travels 1800 miles in 3 hours.

While returning via the same distance, it travels 2 hours 30 minutes.

We are to determine the plane's airspeed as well as the wind speed.

First, let us say that the speed of the plane is p and the wind speed is q

during the time the plane is traveling for 1800 miles in 3 hrs.

Then, we can say

3p -3q = 1800 ----- (1)

However, in  2hours 30 minutes, we have 2.5 hours

So, when the plane is returning, we have the following equation:

2.5p + 2.5q = 1800 ---- (2)

So, to find p and q, we can use the elimination method.

Simply by multiplying equation (1) with 5 and equation (2) with 6

 (5)3p    -  (5)3q     = (5) 1800

 (6)2.5p  + (6)2.5q = (6) 1800            

  15p -  15q  = 9000

+

<u>  15p + 15q   = 10800       </u>

<u>  30p -  0     = 19800       </u>

<u></u>

30p = 19800

p = 19800/30

p = 660

Since p = 660, then from equation (1) we can obtain the value of q:

So; Using equation (1):

3p -3q = 1800

3(660) - 3q = 1800

1980 - 3q = 1800

-3q = 1800 - 1980

-3q = -180

q = 180/3

q = 60

Therefore, the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

I can’t figure out how to use the zeros in the polynomial. Please explain
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

b) P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

c) P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0

---------------------------------------

x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0

--------------------------------------

P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0

----------------------------------------

x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0

-----------------------------------------

P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2

A population has a standard deviation of 5.5. What is the standard error of the sampling distribution if the sample size is 81?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

\sigma = 5.5

And we have a sample size of n =81. We want to estimate the standard error of the sampling distribution \bar X and for this case we know that the distribution is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu ,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar x}= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

And replacing we got:

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{81}}= 0.611

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the population deviation given by:
