An airline runs a commuter flight between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, which are 145 miles apart. An increase of 2

0 miles per hour in the average speed of the plane decreases the travel time by 12 minutes. What initial average speed results in this decrease in travel time? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The speed of the airplane is the ratio of the distance to the time

The initial average speed of the airplane is approximately 110.8 mph

Reason:

Given parameters are;

The distance between Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington = 145 miles

The decrease in travel time when the speed is increase by 20 mph =  minutes

The initial speed of the airplane, v = Required;

Solution;

t = \dfrac{145}{v}

t - \dfrac{12}{60}  = \dfrac{145}{v + 20}

Therefore;

\dfrac{145}{v} - \dfrac{12}{60}  = \dfrac{145}{v + 20}

Which gives;

\dfrac{145}{v + 20} - \dfrac{145}{v} + \dfrac{12}{60} = 0

Therefore

0.2·v² + 4·v - 2,900 = 0

v ≈ ±110.8 mph

The initial average speed of the airplane, v≈ ± 110.8 mph

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a st
MaRussiya [10]

Correct answer is: P(x<6) is 0.123 and it is usual.

Solution:-

Given that the time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase follows normal distribution. Which has mean = 8.21 minutes and standard deviation 1.90

Then probability of individual takes less than 6 minutes is

P(X<6) = P(z

           = P(z

           = 0.1230

Typically we say an event with a probability less than 5% is unusual.

But here P(X<6) = 0.123 is greater than 5% hence this is usual.

2x^3-3x^2-11x+6 divide by x-3
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 2x^2+3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do long division, which is very very hard to show with typing on a keyboard. You essentially want to divide the leading coefficient for each term. Ill try my best to explain it.

Do \frac{2x^3}{x}=2x^2. Write 2x^2 down. Now multiply (x - 3) by it. Then subtract it from the trinomial.

2x^2*(x-3)=2x^3 -6x^2\\(2x^3 -3x^2-11x+6)-(2x^3-6x^2) = 3x^2-11x+6

Now do \frac{3x^2}{x} =3x. Write that down next to your 2x^2. Multiply 3x by (x - 3) to get:

3x(x-3)=3x^2-9x\\(3x^2-11x+6)-(3x^2-9x)=-2x+6

Your final step is to do \frac{-2x}{x} =-2. Write this -2 next to your other two parts

Multiply -2 by (x - 3) to get:

-2(x-3)=-2x+6\\(-2x+6)-(-2x+6)=0

Our remainder is 0 so that means (x - 3) goes into that trinomial exactly:

2x^2+3x-2 times

Can you think of any 2x2 matrices d for which cd = dc for all 2x2 matrices c? give 2 different examples of such matricesd.
Ksju [112]
For any arbitrary 2x2 matrices \mathbf C and \mathbf D, only one choice of \mathbf D exists to satisfy \mathbf{CD}=\mathbf{DC}, which is the identity matrix.

There is no other matrix that would work unless we place some more restrictions on \mathbf C. One such restriction would be to ensure that \mathbf C is not singular, or its determinant is non-zero. Then this matrix has an inverse, and taking \mathbf D=\mathbf C^{-1} we'd get equality.

Luke and Aisha are traveling on the same road in the same direction. Luke is driving at a rate of 50 miles per​ hour, and Aisha
Nataly_w [17]

If x is the time, in hours, then:

x(55)=x(50)+15

5x=15

x=3 hours before Aisha is ahead of Luke

hope this helps you!
