An air traffic controller spots two planes at the same altitude flying toward each other. their flight paths form a right angle

at point p. one plane is 150 miles from point p and is moving at 450 miles per hour. the other plane is 200 miles from point p and is moving at 450 miles per hour. 100 100 200 200 distance (in miles) distance (in miles) y s x p write the distance s between the planes as a function of time t.

Let the units of the problem be miles and hours. The first plane's distance from point p can be described by

... x = 150 -450t

The second plane's distance from point p can be described by

... y = 200 -450t

Since their flight paths are at right angles, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to describe the distance between them (s).

... s² = x² + y²

... s² = (150 -450t)² + (200 -450t)² = 22500 -135000t +202500t² +40000 -180000t +202500t²

... s² = 40500t² -315000t +62500 = 2500(162t² -126t +25)

... s = 50√(162t² -126t +25)

<span>Question :Why is it that any number raised to the power zero is equal to 1 and not zero ?
<span>
Answer :</span><span>When a number is raise to the power 0, we are not actually multiplying the particular number by 0. For example, let us take 20. In this case we are not actually multiplying the number 2 by 0.

We define 20 = 1, so that each power of 2 is one factor of 2 larger than the last, e.g., 1,2,4,8,16,32...</span><span>This involves the rules of exponents particularly division. 

If a is a number and x and y are also numbers, then according to the rule of division for powers with the same base, 

a^x/a^y = a^(x - y).

It says the quotient of two powers with the same base is equal to the common base raise to the exponent equal to the difference between x and y. 

So, if x = y, then a^x/a^y = a^(x -y) = a^0 

But a^x is equal to a^y, since x = y; hence a^x/a^y = 1 

Therefore, by Transitive property of Equality, 

a^0 = 1 

Thus, this result says that number raised to the power zero is equal to 1.</span></span>

Question 5
Stells [14]

Answer:

7**6

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 7^6 ; can be interpreted as 7 raised to the power of 6 ; which is (7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 7). To execute this expression using a computer or basic mathematical operation on a computer we use the power symbol which the computer understand this the double multiplication symbol (**)

Hence, 7^6 = (7**6)
