You’ll want to draw a triangle if you imagine the ladder leaning against the building it forms a right triangle with height “a” being the distance from the ground to the window, and the hypotenuse “c” being the length of the ladder. We want to solve for base “b” and the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building
Recall the Pythagorean theory
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Consider U = {x|x is a positive integer greater than 1}.
natta225 [31]
Answer: <span><span>{x|x ∈ U and 2x is prime} is an empty set.

</span>Justification:
</span>
U = {x|x is a positive integer greater than 1} = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}<span>


1) {x|x ∈ U and (1/2) x is prime}

Take x = 4 => (1/2) 4 = 4 / 2 = 2 = prime, so this is not empty.


{x|x ∈ U and 2x is prime}

2) 2x = {4, 6, 8, 10, 12, } so none of them is prime, hence this is an empty set.

3) {x|x ∈ U and (1/2) x can be written as a fraction}

Take any x that is odd. For example x = 3

=> (1/2)x = (1/2)3 = 3/2 which is a fraction, so this is not an empty set.


2) {x|x ∈ U and 2x can be written as a fraction}

Take any value of x, for example x = 7 => 2 = 14, and 14 = 28 / 2 so this is not an empty set.

A plane flies from atlanta to new york to los angeles angainst the wind in 5 hr the return trip back to atlanta with the wind on
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: speed of plane is 720 km/h

Speed of wind is 80km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the plane.

Let y represent the speed of the wind.

The plane flies from Atlanta to los Angeles and against the wind in 5hrs and the distance between Atlanta and los Angeles is 3200 km.

Since it flew against the wind, the speed would be x-y km/hour

Distance = speed × time. Therefore

3200 = 5(x - y )

3200 = 5x - 5y - - - - - - - - - 1

the return trip back to Atlanta with the wind only 4 hr. This means that the speed is x+y km/hour. Therefore

3200 = 4(x+y)

3200 = 4x + 4y - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

12800 = 20x - 20y

16000 = 20x - 20y

Adding both equations, it becomes

28800 = 40x

x = 28800/40 = 720

Substituting x = 720 into 3200 = 5(x - y )

x - y = 3200/5 = 640

y = 720 - 640 = 80
