Mean=total/the number of values =>total=mean*the number of values
the total of the first set of 8 numbers is : total=8*8=64
the total of the second set of 12 numbers is: 12m
the total of the 20 numbers is: 64+12m
the mean of the 20 number is: (64+12m)/20=5
solve for m: 64+12m=100
12m=36
m=3

Answer:

\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}}\rightarrow\frac{2x}{3y}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} \rightarrow\frac{3y}{2x}\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}}\rightarrow\frac{4x^2}{5y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}}\rightarrow\frac{3x^2}{2y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} \rightarrow\frac{2xy}{3}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}}\rightarrow\frac{x}{2y}


Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(2^4)(x^{6-2})(y^{4-8})}{(3^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{2^4x^4y^{-4}}{3^4}} =\frac{2xy^{-1}}{3}=\frac{2x}{3y}

\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(3^4)(x^{2-6})(y^{10-6})}{(2^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{3^4x^{-4}y^{4}}{2^4}} =\frac{3x^{-1}y^1}{3}=\frac{3y}{2x}

\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(4^3)(x^{8-2})(y^{7-10})}{(5^3)}} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{4^3x^6y^{-3}}{5^3}} =\frac{4x^2y^{-1}}{5}=\frac{4x^2}{5y}

\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{(3^5)(x^{17-7})(y^{16-21})}{(2^5)}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{3^5x^{10}y^{-5}}{2^5}} =\frac{3x^2y^{-1}}{2}=\frac{3x^2}{2y}

\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{(2^5)(x^{12-7})(y^{15-10})}{(3^5)}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{2^5x^{5}y^{5}}{3^5}} =\frac{2x^1y^{1}}{3}=\frac{2xy}{3}

\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(2^4)(x^{10-2})(y^{9-17})}{(4^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{2^4x^{8}y^{-8}}{4^4}} =\frac{2x^{1}y^{-1}}{4}=\frac{x}{2y}

Thus,

\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}}\rightarrow\frac{2x}{3y}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} \rightarrow\frac{3y}{2x}\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}}\rightarrow\frac{4x^2}{5y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}}\rightarrow\frac{3x^2}{2y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} \rightarrow\frac{2xy}{3}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}}\rightarrow\frac{x}{2y}

Seattle, wa and san francisco, ca lie on the same longitudinal line. san francisco is at 38° latitude and seattle is at 47° lati
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

47^o-38^o=9^o

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° ​​is the angle α:

\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi

\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi


<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>
