Answer:

Josh: 32 mph, 64 mi
Greg: 64 mph, 320 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Josh's rate of travel in miles per hour. After 2 hours, his distance is ...

distance = speed · time

distance = x · 2 = 2x

Then 2x is Greg's rate of travel After 5 hours, his distance is ...

distance = speed · time

distance = (2x) · 5 = 10x

The distance they are apart is ...

10x -2x = 256

8x = 256

x = 32

Josh's rate: 32 miles per hour; Josh's distance = (2 h)(32 mi/h) = 64 miles.

Greg's rate: (32 mi/h)·2 = 64 mi/h; Greg's distance = (5 h)(64 mi/h) = 320 miles.

<em>Check</em>: 320 miles - 64 miles = 256 miles . . . . correct separation

Amount paid for new surfboard= $81

Percentage of the savings paid= 60%

Let the amount of the savings be x

Hence

60% of x= 81

60/100*x= 81

0.6x=81

x= 81/0.6

x=$135

Hence his savings was $135

Answer:

$\frac{cos-sin^{2}+1 }{sin(1+cos)}\\\\=\frac{cos - sin^{2}+sin^{2}+cos^{2} }{sin(1+cos)}\\\\=\frac{cos+cos^{2} }{sin(1+cos)}\\\\=\frac{cos(1+cos)}{sin(1+cos)}\\\\=\frac{cos}{sin}\\\\=cot$

( 1 = sin² + cos²)

Evaluate the function

Sedaia [141]

$f(0) = {4}^{3 \times 0 + 3} = {4}^{0 + 3} = {4}^{3} = 64$
The answer is above.
Additional note 1:
${4}^{3} = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 16 \times 4 = 64$
Additional note 2:
In the answer I filled in "0" at the place where "n" was. This is because the question tells us n=0
