Speed of the ship in the second hour =  (62.5 * x ) / 100  kph.

In third hour it is  [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again  so we can now form the equation

62.5x      x          x
------- *   ----  *  ----    =  32
100      100      100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 =  512,000
x = 80 <-----  Answer  to (a)

(b)  Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then  this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence 

Dist travelled in 6 hours  =  a1  1 - r^n
                                                --------  = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

                                               1 - r

Answer is    230.56 km

I need help asap!! <br> if p= -1, 5 Rx axis (P)
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

P'(7, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule for the transformation of a point R_{x=1}(P) defines,

Reflection of a point P(x, y) about a line, x = 1 which is parallel to y-axis.

Line x = 1 works like a mirror so the distance between the line and the image point will be equal to the distance between the line and the original point.

Distance between the line and a point (-1, 5) = 4

Therefore, distance between the line and the image point = 4

Coordinates of the image point will be,

P'(3, 5)

Goshia [24]
(10x+5)4 = 30x + 3x + 6x +30

40x + 20 = 39x + 30

X = 10

perimeter of the square= 420
perimeter of the triangle= 420
