Answer:

55.734 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the wind speed x and the time of flight t.

Then, we can write the following equation, knowing that the distance is equal speed times time of flight:

910 = (350+x) * t

660 = (350-x) * t

If we isolate t in both equations and compare its value, we have that:

910 / (350+x) = 660 / (350-x)

(350+x)/(350-x) = 910/660

350 + x = 1.3788 * (350-x)

350 + x = 482.58 - 1.3788x

2.3788x = 132.58

x = 55.734 mph

A company has made a rubber ball for $0. 02 per square foot. The company wants to spend a maximum of $1 each on a new ball.

Misha Larkins [42]

The diameter of the new rubber ball, to the nearest foot, must be D = 4.0 ft (in the case of the maximum cost).

<h3>How to find the diameter of the ball?</h3>

Remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the surface area is:

A = 4*pi*(D/2)^2

In this case, the cost is $0.02 per square foot, and the company wants to expend (at maximum) $1 per ball, so first we need to solve:

$0.02*A = $1

A = $1/$0.02 = 50

So the surface of the ball must be 50 square feet.

Then we solve:

50ft^2 = 4*3.14*(D/2)^2

D = 2*√(50 ft^2/(4*3.14)) = 4.0 ft

An exponential function f(x)

natka813 [3]

Given:

An exponential function $f(x)=ab^x$ passes through the points (0, 12000) and (2, 3000).

To find:

The values of a and b.

Solution:

We have,

$f(x)=ab^x$ ...(i)

It passes through the point (0,12000). Putting x=0 and f(x)=12000 in (i), we get

$12000=ab^0$

$12000=a(1)$

$12000=a$

Given function passes through the point (2,3000). Putting x=2, a=12000 and f(x)=3000 in (i), we get

$3000=12000b^2$

$\dfrac{3000}{12000}=b^2$

$\dfrac{1}{4}=b^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=b$

For an exponential function b cannot be negative. So, $b=\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

Therefore, the value of a is 12000 and the value of b is $\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

Answer:

(3) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of leg XY. Then the length of YZ is x/2 and the area of the right triangle is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(x)(x/2) = x²/4

36 = x²/4 . . . . . use the given value for area

144 = x² . . . . . . multiply by 4

√144 = 12 = x . . . . . take the square root

The length of leg XY is 12 cm.
