The current of Cache Creek has speed 2 mph. It takes a small boat a total of 4 hours to travel 12 miles upstream and 12 miles back. Find the speed of the boat in still water. If your answer is not an integer, round it off to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.61 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of current; c = 2 mph

Total time to travel upstream and back; t = t1 + t2 = 4 hours

Let x represent speed of the boat in still water

Then the actual speed of the boat when going upstream is x - 2, and the actual speed when going downstream downstream is x + 2.

We know that; distance = speed x time, Thus;

For the upstream trip;

12 = (x - 2)t1

t1 = 12/(x - 2)

For the downstream trip;

12 = (x + 2)t2

t2 = 12/(x +2)

Adding both equations, we have;

t1 + t2 = (12/(x - 2)) + (12/(x +2))

4 = (12/(x - 2)) + (12/(x +2))

Multiply through by (x - 2)(x + 2)

4(x - 2)(x + 2) = 12(x + 2) + 12(x - 2)

4x²- 16 = 12x + 24 + 12x - 24

4x² - 16 = 24x

4x² - 24x - 16 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

x ≈ 6.61 mph

2. BT = TD Based on the properties of a parallelogram, the parallelogram diagonals bisect each other

3. ∠1 = ∠2  Vertically opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal

4. BC ║ AD By definition, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel

The reasons that matches the statements in the two-column proof is shown in the table attached in the image below.

Recall:

Based on the, CPCTE Theorem, if two triangles are congruent, all its corresponding sides and angles of both triangles are therefore congruent together.The ASA Congruent Theorem justifies that two triangles are congruent if they have two pairs of congruent angles and a pair of included sides that are also congruent.

Given parallelogram ABCD, and also, we know that EF contains T, to prove that ET = FT, establish that:

ΔBET ≅ ΔDFT by the ASA Congruence Theorem, then demonstrate that ET = FT by the CPCTE Theorem.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x = y - 3

Also,

6(y - 3) = 3y + 6

6y - 18 = 3y + 6

6y - 3y = 6 + 18

3y = 24

y = 24/3

y = 8

x = 8 - 3

x = 5

Therefore, the first number is 5 and the second number is 8.

Answer:

The rate of change in the submarine's elevation is 26.0 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

She begins 151 feet below sea level

Thus, her initial point is y₁ = 151 feet below sea level

i.e. at t₁=0 seconds, y₁ = 151 feet below sea level

After descending for the 3 seconds, she is 229 feet below sea level.

Thus, her second point is y₂ = 229 feet below sea level after 3 seconds

i.e. at t₂=3 seconds, y₂ = 229 feet below sea level

The rate of change is basically the slope. Thus, the rate of change can be obtained by taking the slope.

slope = rate of change = (y₂ - y₁)/(t₂ - t₁)

                                      = (229 - 151) / (3 - 0)

                                       = 78/3

                                       = 26.0

Therefore, the rate of change in the submarine's elevation is 26.0 feet per second.

Makayla borrows $15200. Some is from her friend at 5% annual interest, 2 times as much as that from her bank at 8% , and the remainder from her insurance company at 4%. She pays a total of $968 in interest for the first year. How much did she borrow from each source?

Answers

Answer:

Amount borrowed from friend = 4000

From Bank = 8000

From insurance = 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed = $15200

Let amount borrowed from friend = x

x at 5% = 0.05x

From Bank = 2x at 8% = 0.08*2x = 0.16x

From insurance = 15200 - (x + 2x) at 4%

From insurance = 15200 - 3x at 4% ; (15200 - 3x)* 0.04 = 608 - 0.12x

Interest paid in first year = $968

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

968 =

968 = (0.05x + 0.16x + 608 - 0.12x)

968 - 608 = 0.05x + 0.16x - 0.12x

360 = 0.09x

x = 360 / 0.09

x = 4000

Hence,

Amount borrowed from friend = 4000

From Bank = 2x = 4000 * 2 = 8000

From insurance = 15200 - (4000 + 8000) = 3200

Q: How much money would you save on 10 pounds of blueberries at the less expensive fruit stand? (Hint: Find the cost of 10 pounds of blueberries for each, A and B, then subtract the values.) Remember to explain your reasoning!

Answers

Answer:

According to my...calculations, you would save $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the ratio/the rate of change, then you multiply it to get to ten pounds. You do the same for the other line. Then you just subtract it.

A= 2 pounds for $12

B= 1 pound for $4

Multiply the two to get to 10, and whatever the number is (5) you multiply 12 by it as well. For B, you multiply by 10. You get $60, for A. $40 for B.

The amount saved would be $20.

Joe rode two thirds of the way to the house is 2/3 * 36= 24 blocks.

Then he rode back to his house (1 - 2/3) * 36= 12 blocks.

Then Joe rode back to grandma's house= 36 blocks.

Then he rode straight home= 36 blocks.

Total number of blocks he rode is 24+12+36+36= 108 blocks.
