Two planes leave an airport at the same time, one flying east, the other flying west. The eastbound plane travels 130 mph slow

er. They are 3850 mi apart after 5 hr. Find the speed of each plane.

Answer:

Speed of the slower plane = 320 mph

Speed of the faster plane = 450 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the slower plane = x mph

And the speed of the faster plane = y mph

Difference in their speeds = 130 mph

y - x = 130 --------(1)

Formula for the distance traveled = Speed × time

Distance traveled by the faster plane in 5 hours = 5y miles

Distance traveled by the slower plane in 5 hours = 5x miles

Total distance traveled by both the planes in 5 hours = 5(x + y) miles

5(x + y) = 3850

x + y = 770 ---------(2)

By adding equations (1) and (2)

2y = 900

y = 450 mph

From equation (2)

x = 770 - 450

x = 320 mph

1. I suppose the ODE is supposed to be

$\mathrm dt\dfrac{y+y^{1/2}}{1-t}=\mathrm dy(t+1)$

Solving for $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}$ gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{y+y^{1/2}}{1-t^2}$

which is undefined when $t=\pm1$ . The interval of validity depends on what your initial value is. In this case, it's $t=-\dfrac12$ , so the largest interval on which a solution can exist is $-1\le t\le1$ .

2. Separating the variables gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{y+y^{1/2}}=\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{1-t^2}$

Integrate both sides. On the left, we have

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y^{1/2}(y^{1/2}+1)}=2\int\frac{\mathrm dz}{z+1}$

where we substituted $z=y^{1/2}$ - or $z^2=y$ - and $2z\,\mathrm dz=\mathrm dy$ - or $\mathrm dz=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{2y^{1/2}}$ .

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y^{1/2}(y^{1/2}+1)}=2\ln|z+1|=2\ln(y^{1/2}+1)$

On the right, we have

$\dfrac1{1-t^2}=\dfrac12\left(\dfrac1{1-t}+\dfrac1{1+t}\right)$

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dt}{1-t^2}=\dfrac12(\ln|1-t|+\ln|1+t|)+C=\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

So

$2\ln(y^{1/2}+1)=\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

$\ln(y^{1/2}+1)=\dfrac12\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

$y^{1/2}+1=e^{\ln(1-t^2)^{1/4}+C}$

$y^{1/2}=C(1-t^2)^{1/4}-1$

I'll leave the solution in this form for now to make solving for $C$ easier. Given that $y\left(-\dfrac12\right)=1$ , we get

$1^{1/2}=C\left(1-\left(-\dfrac12\right)^2\right))^{1/4}-1$

$2=C\left(\dfrac54\right)^{1/4}$

$C=2\left(\dfrac45\right)^{1/4}$

and so our solution is

$\boxed{y(t)=\left(2\left(\dfrac45-\dfrac45t^2\right)^{1/4}-1\right)^2}$

Simplify <br> 7 1/5 times 49 7/5 equivalent to 49

bogdanovich [222]

Step-by-step explanation:

7 1/5 × 49 7/5 = 49

convert mixed numbers into improper fractions (whole number × denominator + numerator)

7 × 5 + 1 = 36

49 × 5 + 7 = 252

36/5 × 252/5 = 49

All fractions must have a common denominator

49 × 5 = 245

36/5 × 252/5 = 245/5

Add numerators

36 + 252 = 288

288/5 = 245/5

57 3/5 = 49

These do not equal each other according to my calculations. Is the problem written correctly? Or did I misinterpret a given number?
