Mattie Evans drove 200 miles in the same amount of time that it took a turbo propeller plane to travel 800 miles. The speed of t

he plane was 150 mph faster than the speed of the car. Find the speed of the plane.

Answer:

<em>200mph</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is expressed using the expression

Speed = Distance/Time

For Mattie

Distance = 200miles

Speed = x

Time taken by mattie = Distance/speed

Time taken by mattie = 200/x ... 1

For the propeller plane:

Distance = 800miles

Speed = x+150 (The speed of the plane was 150 mph faster than the speed of the car)

time taken by the plane = 800/x+150

Since Mattie took the same amount of time that it took a turbo propeller plane to travel, then we will equate both expressions as shown:

200/x = 800/150+x

Cross multiply

800x = 200(150+x)

800x = 30,000 + 200x

800x-200x = 30,000

600x = 30,000

x = 30,000/600

x = 50

Get the speed of the plane

Since the speed of the plane is 150+x

Speed of the plane = 150+50

<em>Speed of the plane = 200mph</em>

A rectangular area is to be fenced in with 300 feet of chicken wire. find the maximum area that can be enclosed.
GarryVolchara [31]
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.

2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x

A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150

So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.

A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625

So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.

Answer:

2\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

Simplifying the radicals

\sqrt{125} = \sqrt{25(5)} = \sqrt{25} × \sqrt{5} = 5\sqrt{5}

\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{36(5)} = \sqrt{36} × \sqrt{5} = 6\sqrt{5}

\sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9(5)} = \sqrt{9} × \sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{5}

Thus

\sqrt{125} - \sqrt{180} +\sqrt{45}

= 5\sqrt{5} - 6\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{5}

= 2\sqrt{5}
