QuestionAn airplane crosses the Atlantic Ocean (3000 miles) at 560 mph. Cost per passenger with a 100 mph tailwind is given by
$$\theta(x)=150+\frac{x}{20}+\frac{32,000}{x}$$
What is the cost per passenger? Round to the nearest cent.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the cost per passenger.
$$Cost\, per\, passenger =150+\frac{660}{20}+\frac{32,000}{660} \approx \$608.48$$The cost per passenger with a tail wind of100 miles per hour is approximately $608.48.
