In 1927, charles lindbergh was the first person to fly nonstop across the atlantic ocean. today, commercial airliners fly from new york to paris five times as fast, or 400 miles/hour faster than lindbergh's plane.
a. at what speed did charles lindbergh''s plane fly?
b. at what speed do commercial airplanes fly today?

plz show work on both

a. 100 mph

b. 500 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let the speed of Lindbergh's plane be x.

Today's planes are 5 times faster, so their speed is 5x.

Today's planes speed is 400 mph faster than Lindbergh's speed.

x + 400 = 5x

5x = x + 400

4x = 400

x = 100

Lindbergh's speed was 100 mph

b. 5x = 5 * 100 = 500

Today's planes fly at 500 mph

step-by-step explanation:

do you have a copy of the table?

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
