Answer:

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance = 600 miles

Let speed of airplane = a ; speed of wind = b

Net speed ; with wind = a + b

Net speed against wind = a - b

Time taken with wind = 2 hours

Time taken against wind = 2.5 hours

Recall :

Speed = distance / time ; distance = speed * time

(a + b) * 2 = (a - b) * 2.5

2a + 2b = 600

a + b = 300 - - - (1)

a = 300 - b

2.5a - 2.5b = 600

a - b = 240 - - - (2)

300 - b - b = 240

300 - 2b = 240

-2b = - 60

b = 30

a = 300 - 30

a = 270

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

Answer:

  4x^2 +12x +44 remainder 161x +84

Step-by-step explanation:

At each step, the quotient term is the ratio of the leading dividend term to the leading divisor term. The first quotient term, for example, is ...

  (4x^4)/(x^2) = 4x^2

The quotient term found this way is multiplied by the divisor and subtracted from the dividend. The difference is the new dividend and the process repeats.

You're done when the degree of the dividend is less than the degree of the divisor. This remainder can be expressed as a fraction with the divisor as the denominator.

  \dfrac{4x^4+5x-4}{x^2-3x-2}=4x^2+12x+44+\dfrac{161x+84}{x^2-3x-2}
