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

If g(x)=2x-1 and h(x)= swuare root x, find (g o h) (9)
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate (g ○ h)(9), evaluate h(9) , then use this value to evaluate g(x)

h(9) = \sqrt{9} = 3, then

g(3) = 2(3) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Select the correct answer.
miv72 [106K]

Given:

A function g has the factors (x - 7) and (x + 6).

To find:

The zeros of the function g.

Solution:

We know that if (x-a) is a factor of a function then x=a is a zero of that function because

x-a=0

x=a

It is given that the function g has the factors (x - 7) and (x + 6).

x-7=0

x=7

Similarly,

x+6=0

x=-6

Therefore, -6 and 7 are two zeros of the function g.

Hence the correct option is B.
