I think the answer is irrational
Whenever we have a negative exponent, that means that the function should be in the denomenator. then the exponent will be positive.
Example
16^-4 = 1/(16^4)
Answer:
27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of the diagonal, we just need to use the cosine relation of the 48° angle.
The adjacent side to the angle is the height of the canvas, and the hypotenuse formed is the diagonal of the canvas. So, we have that:
cos(48) = height / diagonal
0.6691 = 18 / diagonal
diagonal = 18 / 0.6691 = 26.9 inches
Rounding to the nearest inch, the diagonal of the canvas measures 27 inches
Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180
Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30
The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.
