A boat can travel 16 Kilometers per hour in still water. The boat travels 15 kilometers down a river and then 15 kilometers up stream. The entire trip takes 5.5 hours. Which equation describes the current, c, of the river?

a)
[tex] \frac{16}{15 + c} + \frac{16}{15 - c} = 5.5 [/tex]
b)
[tex] \frac{5.5}{16 + c} + \frac{5.5}{16 - c} = 15 [/tex]
c)
[tex] \frac{5.5}{15 + c} + \frac{5.5}{15 - c} = 16 [/tex]
d)
[tex] \frac{15}{16 + c} + \frac{15}{16 - c} = 5.5[/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d)

Step-by-step explanation:

the sites of the boat alone is 16 km/h.

downstream and upstream the effective speed is then influenced plus and minus by the current.

the distance traveled is 15km.

as speed = distance/time

then distance / speed = distance / (distance/time) = time

and we know the time it takes : 5.5 hours.

so, only answer d uses the right values in the "right places".

21. Paul has $900 to invest in a savings account that has an annual interest rate of 1.8%, and a money market account that pays 4.2% per year. Write a polynomial for the interest he will earn in one year if he invests x dollars in the savings account.

Answers

The polynomial that gives the interest earned after a year will have variables, exponents and constants that are joined by operators.

The interest earned after one year is 0.018·x

Reasons:

The amount Paul has to invest = $900

The annual interest rate from the savings account = 1.8%

The amount the money market account pays per year = 4.2 %

Required: The polynomial for the interest Paul earned by investing x dollars in the savings account.

Solution:

The interest earned is found using the compound interest formula as follows;

[tex]\displaystyle A = \mathbf{P \cdot \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t}}[/tex]

Where;

A = The amount in the account after one year

P = The original amount invested = x

r = The interest rate offered on the investment = 1.8% = 0.018

t = The time of the investment = 1 year

n = The number of times of application of the interest per period = Once per year

Which gives;

Interest = Amount earned = A - P

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle Interest, \ I = \mathbf{P \cdot \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t} - P}[/tex]

Plugging in the values gives;

[tex]\displaystyle I = x \cdot \left(1 + \frac{0.018}{1} \right)^{1 \times 1} - x = x \cdot 1.018^1 - x = 1.018 \cdot x - x = 0.018 \cdot x[/tex]

The polynomial equation is therefore;

Interest, I = 0.018·x

Using the simple interest formula, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle Interest = \mathbf{\frac{P \times r \times t}{100}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle Interest = \frac{x \times 1.8 \times 1}{100} = 0.018 \cdot x[/tex]

Interest earned by investing in the savings account for one year, I = 0.018·x

The polynomial representing the interest earned is I = 0.018·x

A xerox machine makes scale copies of the pages in your math book. If the copy comes out the exact same size as the original,what do you think the scale factor is?

Answers

If the copy made by Xerox's machine is same size as the original, the scale factor will be 1.

Recall:

The scale factor = dimension of new copy / dimension of original copy.

Let's assume that one of the dimension of the original copy is 4 inches.

If the new copy is of exact same size as the original copy, therefore the new copy will still have a dimension of 4 inches.

Thus:

Scale factor = 4/4 = 1

Therefore, if the copy made by Xerox's machine is same size as the original, the scale factor will be 1.

What is Root of Equation?

In mathematics, a root is a solution to an equation that is usually stated as a number or an algebraic formula.

A quadratic equation's roots are the variable values that fulfil the equation. They are also referred to as "solutions" or "zeroes" of the quadratic equation.

We have If(x) = (x + 4[tex])^6[/tex](x + 7[tex])^5[/tex] cross the x-axis then y = f(x) = 0.

Now, if f(x) = 0

then (x + 4[tex])^6[/tex](x + 7[tex])^5[/tex] = 0

Now, calculating in separate the value of x as

x +4 =0 and x+ 7= 0

x = -4 and x = -7

Thus, the roots cross x axis at -4 and -7.

x = y + 870

Compare the two equations above:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4/5 from both sides.

  a + 4/5 = 1 1/2

  a + 0.8 = 1.5

  a + 0.8 -0.8 = 1.5 -0.8 . . . . subtract 4/5 from both sides

  a = 0.7 = 7/10

  10a = 7 . . . . . . . . subtract 8

  a = 7/10 . . . . . . divide by 10

What is the solution of the equation?

A solution to an equation is a value of a variable that makes a true statement when substituted into the equation. The process of finding the solution to an equation is called solving the equation.

Given expression (3/4)y+1/4= 1+y.

simplify each term,

(3/4)y + 1/4 = 1+y

Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation,

(3/4)y - y = 1-1/4

(-1/4)y = 3/4

Since  both side of the expression has the same denominator, the numerators must be equal.

y = -3

Solution of the equation is y = -3.

OA² = OB² + AB²

(r + 10)² = r² + 20² ← expand left side using FOIL

r² + 20r + 100 = r² + 400 ( subtract r² from both sides )

20r + 100 = 400 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between △PQR and △P′Q′R′?

1. △PQR is congruent to △P′Q′R′ because you can map △PQR to △P′Q′R′ using a translation 2 units to the left, which is a rigid motion.

2. △PQR is congruent to △P′Q′R′ because you can map △PQR to △P′Q′R′ using a reflection across the y-axis, which is a rigid motion.

3. △PQR is not congruent to △P′Q′R′ because there is no sequence of rigid motions that maps △PQR to △P′Q′R′.

The two triangles ΔPQR and ΔP'Q'R' are congruent.

What are coordinates?

A pair of numbers called coordinates are used to locate a point or a form in a two-dimensional plane. The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are two numbers that define a point's location on a 2D plane.

The statement that correctly describes the relationship between △PQR and △P′Q′R′ is:

2. △PQR is congruent to △P′Q′R′ because you can map △PQR to △P′Q′R′ using a reflection across the y-axis, which is a rigid motion.

From the attached graph we can observe that the given Triangle PQR is reflected across the y-axis.

In this case, a translation, a reflection across the x-axis, but a reflection across the y-axis can map △PQR onto △P′Q′R′. Therefore, the two triangles are congruent.
