Answer:

2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the distance formula. D = r * t

45/3 = 15 mph | Trip 1 |

44/4= 11mph | Trip 2 |

15-11 = 4 mph difference traveling upstream or downstream. Thus the speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

Please help me with question2 someone, thanks

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3x-y}{4x+5y}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\$

Cross multiply

5*(3x-y) = 3*(4x + 5y)

5*3x -5*y = 3*4x + 3*5y

15x - 5y = 12x + 15y

15x - 12x = 15y + 5y

3x = 20y

3x = 4y * 5

$\frac{3x}{4y} = 5$

Write a sine function that has a midline of 5, an amplitude of 4 and a period of 3pi/2

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for this function is

y = Asin(Bx - C) + D where

A is the amplitude,

B is used to find the period in the formula $period=\frac{2\pi}{B}$ ,

C is used to find the phase shift in the formula $ps=\frac{C}{B}$ ,

and D is the midline which either moves the function up or down from its natural midline of 0.

We have no given phase shift, so there is no C value. The amplitude is easy; we just fill in A as 4. The period is another story:

$\frac{3\pi}{2} =\frac{2\pi}{B}$ and we solve for B by cross multiplying:

3πB = 4π and

$B=\frac{4\pi}{3\pi}$ so

$B = \frac{4}{3}$ so the function is

$y=4sin(\frac{4}{3}x)+5$
