A pilot flew a 400-mile flight in 2.5 hours flying into the wind. Flying the same rate and with the same wind speed, the return

trip took only 2 hours, with a tailwind.
What was the speed of the wind?

20
40
160
180

Answer:

20 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

traveling against the wind was 160mph (400/2.5)

traveling with the wind was 200mph (400/2)

going against the wind is going in the negative direction of the wind speed, and going with the wind is going in a positive direction of the wind speed, therefore the wind speed is |direction1-direction2|/2, which would be |200-160|/2 = |40|/2 = 20mph

(180mph is neutral speed with no wind, with wind affecting this neutral speed ±20mph)

Ratling [72]

The answer would be B. b = 8 * 4. If Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in an hour and the question wants to know how many bushels could be picked in 8 hours, its basically asking how many bushels are in 8 groups of 4.

Find the linear approximation of the function g(x) = 3 1 + x at a = 0. g(x) ≈ Correct: Your answer is correct. Use it to approxi

Answer:

$3.296x+3$

2.835

3.330

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x) = 3^{1+x}$

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

$L(x) = g(a) + g'(a)(x-a)$

$g'(x)$ is the derivative of $g(x)$ . To find this, we use the form

If $f(x) = a^x$ , then $f'(x) =a^x\ln a$

By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

$g'(x) = 3^{1+x}\ln 3$

Then

$g'(0) = 3^{1+0}\ln 3 = 3.296$

Also $g(0) = 3^{1+0} = 3$

Hence $L(x) = 3+(x-0)\times3.296 = 3.296x + 3$

For $3^{0.95}$ , $1+x = 0.95$ and $x=-0.05$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{0.95} = 3.296(-0.05) + 3 = 2.835$

For $3^{1.1}$ , $1+x = 1.1$ and $x=0.1$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{1.1} = 3.296(0.1) + 3 = 3.330$
