A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota --- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head

wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1.5 hours. What is the plane's speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?
His plane speed is _____________ mph.

Answer:

  • Plane = 105 mph and wind = 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the plane's speed is p, the wind speed is w.

<u>We have:</u>

  • 2(p - w) = 180 ⇒ p - w = 90
  • 1.5(p + w) = 180 ⇒ p + w = 120

<u>Solve the system by elimination, add up the equations:</u>

  • p - w + p + w = 90 + 120
  • 2p = 210
  • p = 105

<u>Find the value of w:</u>

  • 105 - w = 90
  • w = 105 - 90
  • w = 15

Task 1
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

part 1 : y = x^2 + 3x + 5

y = x + 13

solution:

x^2 + 3x + 5 = x + 13

x^2 + 2x -8 = 0

(x+4)(x-2) = 0

x = -4 or x = 2

if x = -4, y = 9

if x = 2 , y = 15

part 2 : x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0

(x + 1)^2 = 0

x = -1

y = 1

task 2

part 1 : Let our two digit number be 26

Next, we rewrite it as a difference of two numbers

26=32-6

We want to square 26 using the identity:  

In this case,

x=32

y=6

Substituting into the identity
