Answer:

  • plane: 530 mi/h
  • wind: 40 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p and w represent the speeds of the plane and the wind. The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  speed = distance/time

  p +w = (2565 mi)/(4.5 h) = 570 mi/h

  p -w = (2205 mi)/(4.5 h) = 490 mi/h

Adding these speeds, we get ...

  (p +w) +(p -w) = (570) +(490) mi/h

  2p = 1060 mi/h

  p = 530 mi/h

Then the speed of the wind is ...

  w = 570 mi/h -p = (570 -530) mi/h = 40 mi/h

The plane's speed is 530 mi/h; the wind speed is 40 mi/h.

We have a fraction with the unknown in the denominator, review how to treat unknowns in the denominator as a refresher for this exercise:
<span>(2/3) - (1/x + 6) = 2
</span>(2/3) - (1 + 6x)/x = <span>2
</span>(2/3) - 2 = (1 + 6x)/x
2/3 - 6/3 = (1 + <span>6x)/x
-4/3 = </span>(1 + <span>6x)/x
-4x = 3</span>(1 + <span>6x)
</span><span>-4x = 3 + 18x
</span>22x = -3
x = -3/22

Jameson is seeking a loan with a simple interest rate of 3% per year. If he wants to borrow $8000, then how much will he be char
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$960

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the simple interest formula for this. The one below is modified for solving the interest earned.

I=Prt

<em>I = interest amount </em>

<em>P = principal amount </em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal form) </em>

<em>t = time </em>

The first step is to change 3% into a decimal:

3% -> \frac{3}{100} -> 0.03

Now, lets plug in the values into the equation:

I=8,000(0.03)(4)

I=960

Jameson will be charged $960 of interest after 4 years.

(121,122,125, 126,132),M,(135,136,136,138,140)

Step-by-step explanation:

minimum : (smallest number) = 121

Q1 : 125

Q2 (median) : (132 + 135) / 2 = 267/2 = 133.5

Q3 : 136

maximum : (largest number) = 140

I did this a long time ago so im not so sure

Write the equation for a line that has an initial value of 3 and 3/4 as it’s rate of change
frutty [35]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

initial value of 3, namely when x = 0, y = 3, so we have the point (0 , 3) and it has a rate or slope of 3/4.

(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{3}{4} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{4}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x+3
