Answer:

The speed of the jet in still air is 260 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small jet can fly 858 miles in 3 hours with a tailwind but only 702 miles in 3 hours into a headwind, to find the speed of the jet in still air the following calculation must be performed:

858/3 = 286

702/3 = 234

(286 - 234) / 2 = X

52/2 = X

26 = X

286 - 26 = 234 + 26

260 = 260

Therefore, the speed of the jet in still air is 260 miles per hour.

Rearrange the equation to get:
y = 3x - 7
From this you can see that:

What are the zeros of the quadratic function?<br> y = x^2 - 2x - 15

Pie

Answer:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{31}}{2},\:x=\frac{1-\sqrt{31}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-> 0=2x^2-2x-15$

-zeros means the solution aka x intercept, meaning y=0

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-15\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}$

=> according to quadratic formula

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where $ax^2+bx+c=0$

=> $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{31}}{2\cdot \:2}$

simplify

$x_1=\frac{-\left(-2\right)+2\sqrt{31}}{2\cdot \:2},\:x_2=\frac{-\left(-2\right)-2\sqrt{31}}{2\cdot \:2}$

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{31}}{2},\:x=\frac{1-\sqrt{31}}{2}$
