Answer:

j=2.606, j=-4.606 and k=0.606, k=-6.606

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to merge the formulas so that you are left with one combined equation with only one variable. Let's go for j, so we won't have to fiddle with the quadratic term:

First we convert j-k=2 to k=j-2, then we plug in this value for k in the other equation:

j² + 2(j-2) = 8

j² +2j -4 = 8

j² + 2j -12 = 0

This we can solve using the quadratic formula:

j = (-2 ± √(2²-4·1·-12) ) / 2

= (-2 ± √52)/2

= -1 ± √13

So j ≈ 2.6056 or j≈-4.6056

k can be found by subtracting 2.

Answer:

11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the values up.

15+9+11+7+5+11+26+6=90

Then divide the sum by the number of numbers.

90/8=11.25

Answer:

OR = distance travelled by the jet plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point J be the jet plane and OJ be the constant height at jet plane is flying and OR be the distance jet plane is travelling.

h =

$1700 \sqrt{3}$

Now,

From the figure i drew (1st)

taking 60 as reference angle,

tan60° = p/b

or,

$tan60 = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div b$

$b \: = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div tan60$

so, b = 1700m

inital distance = 1.7km(OR)

now,

tan 30 = p/b

$tan30 = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div b \\ or \: b = 1700 \sqrt{3} \div tan30$

so, b = 5100 m

so, final distance = 5.1 km(OR)

Now,

distance travelled = final distance - initial distance

distance travelled = 5.1 km - 1.7km

distance travlled = 3.4 km

Now,

time = 17 seconds

= 0.00472 hour.

Now,

speed = d/t

or, speed = 3.4/0.00472

so, speed = 720.3389km/hr

so, speed = 720 km/hr approximately
