If a person rows to his favorite fishing spot 21 miles downstream in the same amount of time that he rows 7 miles

28 miles upstream requires 28/7 = 4 hours.

28 miles downstream requires 28/21 = 4/3 hours, or 1 hour and 20 minutes.

How long does it take him to cover 28 miles?

Apply the distance formula:

d = rt

where

d is distance

r is rate or speed

t is time

21 = t*(r+7)  = rt+ 7t

7 = t *(r-7)   = rt - 7t

            28 = 2rt

             14 = rt

             21 = rt + 7t

             21 = 14 + 7t

               7 = 7t

                 t=1

              21 = (r+7)*1 = r+7

                r = 14

The speed of the boat is 14 mph. With the current (downstream), the speed is 14+7 = 21 mph, so 21 miles are traveled in 1 hour. Against the current (upstream), the speed is 14-7 = 7 mph, which means 7 miles are traveled in the same 1-hour time frame.

28 miles downstream requires 28/21 = 4/3 hours, or 1 hour and 20 minutes.

28 miles upstream requires 28/7 = 4 hours.

Factorize completely the expression(h+2k)²+4k²-h²​
julsineya [31]

The expression factorized completely is (h +2k)[(h+2k) + (2k-h)]

From the question,

We are to factorize the expression (h+2k)²+4k²-h²​ completely

The expression can be factorized as shown below

(h+2k)²+4k²-h²​ becomes

(h+2k)² + 2²k²-h²​

(h+2k)² + (2k)²-h²​

Using difference of two squares

The expression (2k)²-h²​ = (2k+h)(2k-h)

Then,

(h+2k)² + (2k)²-h²​ becomes

(h+2k)² + (2k +h)(2k-h)

This can be written as

(h+2k)² + (h +2k)(2k-h)

Now,

Factorizing, we get

(h +2k)[(h+2k) + (2k-h)]

Hence, the expression factorized completely is (h +2k)[(h+2k) + (2k-h)]

I really need help on themis math!!!!!!!!!!
cluponka [151]
Midpoint formula is M=( (x1+x²)/2 , (y1+y²)/2 )
let A be there point (x1,y1), our (2,3)

plug into the formula to get

(-2,1)=( (2+x²)/2, (3+y2)/2 )
so -2=(2+x2)/2 and 1=(3+y2)/2



x2=-6 and y2=-1
answer is B

This set of points is on the graph of a function.
Liula [17]

If (a, b) is on the graph of a function f(x), then (b, a) is on the graph of the inverse.

We have points on the graph of a function: {(-3, 9), (-1, 1), (0, 0), (2, 4)}.

The points on the graph of the inverse: {(9, -3), (1, -1), (0, 0), (4, 2)}.

<h3>Answer: (4, 2), (0, 0), (1, -1).</h3>
