Travel_Word_Problems/386641: With a tailwind, a small aircraft can fly 900 miles in 5 hours. Against the same wind, the plane can fly the same distance in 6 hours. Find the average wind speed and the average air speed of the plane. 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!With a tailwind, a small aircraft can fly 900 miles in 5 hours. Against the same wind, the plane can fly the same distance in 6 hours. Find the average wind speed and the average air speed of the plane.
---------------
900/5 = 180 mph
900/6 = 150 mph
The plane's airspeed is the average = (180 + 150)/2 = 165 mph
The windspeed is the difference = 15 mph

Functions/386499: I'm not really understanding sine, cosine, and tangent. How do you know which one to use, and when? and how do you keep straight hypotoneuse and adjacents? Seems to me their always different. 1 solutions
Answer 273228 by Alan3354(30993) on 2010-12-15 09:43:50 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Look up the unit circle.
Hypotenuse is always the long side.
Adjacent to an angle is next to it.
Side opposite an angle means that side doesn't form the angle.

Triangles/386488: Use the graphs of y=2x+6, 3x+2y=19 and y=2, which contain the sides of a triangle.
1. Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.
2. Find the area of the triangle 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Use the graphs of y=2x+6, 3x+2y=19 and y=2, which contain the sides of a triangle.
1. Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.
2. Find the area of the triangle
----------------------
I don't know of a "slick" or elegant way to do this, just grind it out.
Sub y=2 into the other eqns to find the vertices.
y=2x+6 and y=2
2 = 2x+6
x = -2 --> (-2,2) vertex A
-----------
3x+2y=19 and y=2
3x+4 = 19
x = 5 --> (5,2) vertex B
--------------
y=2x+6
3x+2y=19
Sub for y
3x + 2(2x+6) = 19
7x + 12 = 19
x = 1 --> (1,8) vertex C
----------------------
To find the area, list the points in columns and repeat the 1st point
The + signs are for alignment
.A...B...C...A
-2 +5 +1 -2
+2 +2 +8 +2
Starting at the left, add the products of the upward diagonals, the the downward
Upward:
2*5 + 2*1 + 8*-2 = 10 + 2 - 16 = -4
Downward:
-2*2 + 5*8 + 1*2 = -4 + 40 + 2 = 38
----------
The difference is 38 -(-4) = 42
The area is 1/2 that, = 21 sq units
-----------------------------------
PS The method for calculating area works for polygons of any shape, and any number of sides. It doesn't seem to be well known.

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/386099: Height of a projectile. The height H, in feet, of a projectile with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec is given by the equation
H=-16t squared + 96t
where t= time, in seconds. Use any equation-solving technique to answer the following questions.
a) How many seconds after launch is the projectile 128 ft above ground?
b) When does the projectile reach its maximum height?
c) How many seconds after launch does the projectile return to the ground?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Height of a projectile. The height H, in feet, of a projectile with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec is given by the equation
H=-16t squared + 96t
where t= time, in seconds. Use any equation-solving technique to answer the following questions.
a) How many seconds after launch is the projectile 128 ft above ground?

(t-4)*(t-2) = 0
t = 2 seconds (going up)
t = 4 seconds (descending)
---------------------
b) When does the projectile reach its maximum height?
Using the info above, it's at t = 3 seconds.
---------------------
c) How many seconds after launch does the projectile return to the ground?
When H = 0
H=-16t squared + 96t = 0

t = 0 (launch)
t = 6 (impact)
t in seconds

You can put this solution on YOUR website! An airplane 30,100 feet above the ground begins descending at the rae of 2,150 feet per minute. Write and solve a linear equation to find how long it will take the plane to reach the ground. (Use y=mx+b)
------------------
h(t) = 30100 - 2150t, h in feet, t in minutes
------------
At the ground, h= 0
30100 - 2150t = 0
30100 = 2150t
t = 30100/2150
t = 14 minutes
