Answer:

w = 40 miles per hour

r = 300 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We add w with the wind and subtract w against the wind

r+w = 340 miles per hour

r - w = 260 miles per hour

Add the two equations together to eliminate w

r+w = 340 miles per hour

r - w = 260 miles per hour

----------------------------------------

2r = 600

Divide by 2

r = 300 miles per hour without the wind

Now find w

r+w = 340

300 + w = 340

Subtract 300

w = 340-300

w = 40 miles per hour

Answer:

48 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to make two right triangles.

Ex= Base is cut in half to make two 9 unit bases

Then count the units from the half point.

Ex= 12 units long

Then use Pythagorean theorem to find one side of the 9-12 right triangle

Ex= 9^2+12^2=c^2

After finding that c=15 units, add all the sides back together

Ex= 18+15+15=48

In mathematical notation, ∑ means summation. So wherever you see the symbol, you have to sum over all elements in the set. Let's solve the question.

a. ∑m means, to sum all elements in the set m: ∑m = 12 + 15 + 20 + 30 = 77

b. ∑f^{2} means to sum all elements in the set f as the square of the elements f = 5^{2} + 9^{2} + 10^{2} + 16^{2} = 25 + 81 + 100 + 256 = 462

c. ∑mf means to sum all elements as the product of the elements of m and f = (12×5) + (15×9) + (20(12^{2}(5)) + (15^{2}(9)) + (20^{2}(10)) + (30^{2}(16)) = 2114510) + (30×16) = 875

d. ∑m^{2}f means to sum all elements as the product of the square of m and f = ((12*12)(5)) + ((15*15)(9)) + ((20*20)(10)) + ((30*30)(16)) = 21145

Simplify the expression<br><br>9x⁰y⁸<br>____<br>z⁸
Olenka [21]

Anything raised to exponent 0 equals 1

So

x^{0}=1

So we get

\frac{9 (1) y^8}{z^8} = \frac{9y^8}{z^8}
