Answer:

KL = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that L is the midpoint of KM , then

KL = KM , substitute values

2x = x + 6 ( subtract x from both sides )

x = 6

Thus

KL = 2x = 2 × 6 = 12

A pilot can travel for 140 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 360 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the w

quester [9]

Answer:

-88 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the relation ...

time = distance/speed

to compare the times in the two directions.

$\dfrac{140}{200+w}=\dfrac{360}{200-w}\\\\140(200-w)=360(200+w)\\\\200(140-360)=w(360+140)\\\\w=\dfrac{200(-220)}{500}=-88 \quad\text{miles per hour}$

The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.

_____

The problem statement tells us the travel is slower <em>with</em> the wind than <em>against</em> the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.

The cube root of 5 times the square root of 5 over the cube root of 5 to the 5th power

Fiesta28 [93]

(cube root of 5) * sqrt(5)
--------------------------------- = ?
(cube root of 5^5)

This becomes easier if we switch to fractional exponents:

5^(1/3) * 5^(1/2) 5^(1/3 + 1/2) 5^(5/6)
------------------------ = --------------------- = ------------- = 5^[5/6 - 5/3]
[ 5^5 ]^(1/3) 5^(5/3) 5^(5/3)

Note that 5/6 - 5/3 = 5/6 - 10/6 = -5/6.

1
Thus, 5^[5/6 - 5/3] = 5^(-5/6) = --------------
5^(5/6)

That's the correct answer. But if you want to remove the fractional exponent from the denominator, do this:

1 5^(1/6) 5^(1/6)
---------- * ------------- = -------------- (ANSWER)
5^(5/6) 5^(1/6) 5
