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.

Evaluate each expression 3 1/2 - 4 2/3
Kruka [31]

Answer:

-7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate this, start by turning each into improper fractions.

3 1/2 - 4 2/3

7/2 - 14/3

Now give both common denominators and complete the operation.

7/2 - 14/3

21/6 - 28/6

-7/6

What is a cubic polynomial function with zeros 3,3 and -3? show your work.​
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Cubic polynomial function with zeros 3,3 and -3 is \mathbf{x^3-3x^2-9x+27=0}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a cubic polynomial function with zeros 3,3 and -3.

If zeros of polynomial are: 3,3,and -3

we can write:

x=3, x=3, x=-3

Or

We can write:

x-3=0, x-3=0, x+3=0

Now, we can write them as:

(x-3)(x-3)(x+3)=0

Multiplying the terms, we can find the polynomial:

(x-3)(x-3)(x+3)=0\\(x(x-3)-3(x-3))(x+3)=0\\(x^2-3x-3x+9)(x+3)=0\\(x^2-6x+9)(x+3)=0\\x(x^2-6x+9)+3(x^2-6x+9)=0\\x^3-6x^2+9x+3x^2-18x+27=0\\x^3-6x^2+3x^2+9x-18x+27=0\\x^3-3x^2-9x+27=0

So, cubic polynomial function with zeros 3,3 and -3 is \mathbf{x^3-3x^2-9x+27=0}
