A jet flies from New York to Los Angeles , a distance of 2,450 miles, and then flies back. The speed from NY to LA was 140 mph faster than the speed from LA to NYIf the total time in the air was 12 hours, what was the jet's speed from NY to LA?

Speed from NY to LA is 172 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the jet’s speed from NY to LA be x mph.The speed form NY to LA would be (x-140) mph

Mathematically, we know that distance = speed * time

The total speed will x + x -140 = 2x-140

Now;

12(2x-140) = 2450

24x - 1680 = 2450

24x = 2450 + 1680

24x = 4130

x = 4130/24

x = 172.1 which is approximately 172 mph

(sin 42)/31. = sinx)/37

sinx = 37 (sin42)/31

= 37× 0.66/31 = 0.787

x= 51.9

other angle opposite to y = 180-51.9-42

= 180- 93.9 =86.1

so

sin42)/31 = sin 86.1)/y

0.021 = 0.997 /y

y= 0.997/0.021 =47.47

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
