An airplane encountered a head wind during a flight between joppetown and jawsburgh which took 55 hours and 3030 minutes. the return flight took 55 hours. if the distance from joppetown to jawsburgh is 17001700 miles, find the airspeed of the plane (the speed of the plane in still air) and the speed of the wind, assuming both remain constant.

Hi i’m back in town now i’ll see ya soon bye

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
