Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute

Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y

It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.

Speed = distance / time

It means that

x + y = 35/5 = 7

It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y

Speed = distance/time. Therefore,

x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y - y = 5

-2y = 5 - 7 = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

x = 7 - y = 7 - 1

x = 6

Evaluate the following expression. 3^-2
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: The simplified form is \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

3^{-2}

As we know the  "Exponential law":

a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a^m}

So, it becomes

3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3^2}

Now, at last it becomes,

3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3\times 3}=\frac{1}{9}

Hence, the simplified form is \frac{1}{9}
