Answer:

20 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

traveling against the wind was 160mph (400/2.5)

traveling with the wind was 200mph (400/2)

going against the wind is going in the negative direction of the wind speed, and going with the wind is going in a positive direction of the wind speed, therefore the wind speed is |direction1-direction2|/2, which would be |200-160|/2 = |40|/2 = 20mph

(180mph is neutral speed with no wind, with wind affecting this neutral speed ±20mph)

The 6 term of a G.P is -2\27 and it's first term is 18.what is the common ratio​
Airida [17]

Answer:

r = - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a GP is

a_{n} = a₁ r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 18 and a₆ = - \frac{2}{27} , then

18 r^{5} = - \frac{2}{27} ( divide both sides by 18 )

r^{5} = - \frac{1}{243} ( take the fifth root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[5]{-\frac{1}{243} } = - \frac{1}{3}

Simplify the product using the distributive property. (-4h +2)(3h +7)
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

  A.  -12h² - 22h + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4h +2)(3h +7) = -4h(3h +7) +2(3h +7) . . . . . . . (a +b)c = ac +bc

  = (-4h)(3h) + (-4h)(7) + (2)(3h) + (2)(7) . . . . . . . a(b +c) = ab +ac . . . (twice)

  = -12h² -28h +6h +14

  = -12h² -22h +14 . . . . . . . . collect terms
