A weather plane took to the skies to measure the speed of the jet stream. The plane flew 1920 km with the jet stream as a tail w

ind. Then, it returned to its original location. The eastbound flight took 2 hours, and the westbound flight took 3.2 hours.
Which system of equations can be used to find the speed of the jet stream and the speed of the plane? What was the speed of the jet stream? (p = plane, w = wind)

A) p + w = 960; p - w = 600; jet stream's speed = 180 km/h
B) p + w = 960; p - w = 500; jet stream's speed = 180 km/h
C) p - w = 960; p + w = 600; jet stream's speed = 200 km/h
D) p + w = 960; p - w = 600; jet stream's speed = 160 km/h

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 p: plane speed
 w: wind speed
 With the wind in favor, the speed is:
 p + w = 1920/2

 With the wind against the speed is:
 p - w = 1920 / 3.2

 Rewriting both equations, we have the following system of equations:
 p + w = 960

p - w = 600
 Then, solving the system of equations (graphically for example), we have the solution is: 
 p = 780

w = 180
 Therefore, jet stream's speed:
 w = 180 km / h

 Answer:
 
A) p + w = 960; p - w = 600; jet stream's speed = 180 km / h

A little help Mean median mode range
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages". There are many "averages" in statistics, but these are, I think, the three most common, and are certainly the three you are most likely to encounter in your pre-statistics courses, if the topic comes up at all.

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order from smallest to largest, so you may have to rewrite your list before you can find the median. The "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number in the list is repeated, then there is no mode for the list.

Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

The "range" of a list a numbers is just the difference between the largest and smallest values.

   Find the mean, median, mode, and range for the following list of values:

13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13

The mean is the usual average, so I'll add and then divide:

(13 + 18 + 13 + 14 + 13 + 16 + 14 + 21 + 13) ÷ 9 = 15

Note that the mean, in this case, isn't a value from the original list. This is a common result. You should not assume that your mean will be one of your original numbers.

The median is the middle value, so first I'll have to rewrite the list in numerical order:

13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21

There are nine numbers in the list, so the middle one will be the (9 + 1) ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2 = 5th number:

13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21

So the median is 14.

The mode is the number that is repeated more often than any other, so 13 is the mode.

The largest value in the list is 21, and the smallest is 13, so the range is 21 – 13 = 8.

mean: 15

median: 14

mode: 13

range: 8

Note: The formula for the place to find the median is "([the number of data points] + 1) ÷ 2", but you don't have to use this formula. You can just count in from both ends of the list until you meet in the middle, if you prefer, especially if your list is short. Either way will work.

Factorize 2mh-2nh-3mk+3nk ​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

(2h-3k)(m-n)

Step-by-step explanation:

factor by grouping, you can group the first two terms and the last two terms:

2h(m-n) + (-3k)(m-n)

there will be one factor in common, use that factor in combination with the factors that are not duplicated:

(2h-3k)(m-n)
