A man travels x km at 60 km/h and y km at 40 km/h and takes 2 hours for the
journey. If the time taken to travel 5x km at
40 km/h and 3y km at 50 km/h is 11 hours
42 minutes, find x and y.

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)

step-by-step explanation:

225x²+4=0

225x²=0-4

225x²=-4

x²=-4/225

x=±√-4/225

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

34.5 cm

step-by-step explanation:

generally for a circular segment of angle, θ° and radius r

arc length

= (θ/360) x circumference

= (θ/360) x 2πr

in our case, θ = 60°, π=3.142 and r = 33 cm

substitute into above formula

arc length

= (60/360) x 2(3.142)( 33) = 34.5 cm
