Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$91.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica is paid:

  • $0.45 per basket for the first 100 baskets picked;
  • $0.50 per basket for all baskets over 100 picked.

1st day:

Jessica picked 65 baskets of oranges (less than 100)

Jessica is paid 65\cdot \$0.45=\$29.25

2nd day:

Jessica picked 135 baskets of oranges (35 more than 100)

Jessica is paid 100\cdot \$0.45+35\cdot \$0.50=\$45+\$17.50=\$62.50

Altogether Jessica is paid

\$29.25+\$62.50=\$91.75

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

C. No. The sum of the dimensions of the eigenspaces equals nothing and the matrix has 3 columns. The sum of the dimensions of the eigenspace and the number of columns must be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the sum of dimensions of eigenspace is not equal to the number of columns, so therefore A is not diagonalizable.
