Step-by-step explanation:

  • v = speed of the wind

5(550 + v) = 6(550 - v)

2.750 + 5v = 3.330 - 6v

5v + 6v = 3.300 - 2.750

11v = 550

v = 550 ÷ 11

v = 50mph

Step-by-step explanation:

let v is the speed of the wind,

the equation of the speed:

(550 + v ) × 5 = (550 - v) × 6

2750 +5v = 3300 - 6v

11v = 3300 - 2750

11v = 550

v = 550/11

v = 50

therefore, the speed of the wind =

50 mph

Express into partial fractions 3x³ - 5x² - 3x - 40/( x² + 4)(x - 3)​
Fudgin [204]

First simplify the rational expression by dividing. The degree in the numerator has to be at least 1 less than the degree in the denominator before you can decompose into partial fractions.

(3<em>x</em>³ - 5<em>x</em>² - 3<em>x</em> - 40) / ((<em>x</em>² + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3)) = 3 + (4<em>x</em>² - 15<em>x</em> - 4) / ((<em>x</em>² + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3))

Now decompose the remainder term into partial fractions:

(4<em>x</em>² - 15<em>x</em> - 4) / ((<em>x</em>² + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3)) = (<em>ax</em> + <em>b</em>) / (<em>x</em>² + 4) + <em>c</em> / (<em>x</em> - 3)

Multiply both sides by the denominator on the left:

4<em>x</em>² - 15<em>x</em> - 4 = (<em>ax</em> + <em>b</em>) (<em>x</em> - 3) + <em>c</em> (<em>x</em>² + 4)

Expand the right side:

4<em>x</em>² - 15<em>x</em> - 4 = <em>ax</em>² + (<em>b</em> - 3<em>a</em>) <em>x</em> - 3<em>b</em> + <em>cx</em>² + 4<em>c</em>

4<em>x</em>² - 15<em>x</em> - 4 = (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>) <em>x</em>² + (<em>b</em> - 3<em>a</em>) <em>x</em> - 3<em>b</em> + 4<em>c</em>

Then

<em>a</em> + <em>c</em> = 4

<em>b</em> - 3<em>a</em> = -15

-3<em>b</em> + 4<em>c</em> = -4

Solve this system to get

<em>a</em> = 5, <em>b</em> = 0, <em>c</em> = -1

We end up with

(4<em>x</em>² - 15<em>x</em> - 4) / ((<em>x</em>² + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3)) = 5<em>x</em> / (<em>x</em>² + 4) - 1 / (<em>x</em> - 3)

and so

(3<em>x</em>³ - 5<em>x</em>² - 3<em>x</em> - 40) / ((<em>x</em>² + 4) (<em>x</em> - 3))

= 3 + 5<em>x</em> / (<em>x</em>² + 4) - 1 / (<em>x</em> - 3)

If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x) = 48 when x = 8 find the value of f(x) when x = 2
const2013 [10]
Here, f(x) = kx

k = f(x)/x
k = 48/8
k = 6

So, when x = 2, 
f(x) = 6 * 2
z = 12

In short, Your Answer would be: 12

Hope this helps!
