2 = ( v + 2 ) × t1 ;
2 = ( v - 2 ) × t2 ;
t1 + t2 = 1 ;
where v is the speed of the boat in still water ; t1 is the time upstream ; t2 is the tome downstream ;
Then, v + 2 = 2 / t1 and v - 2 = 2 / t2 ;
v = 2 / t1   -  2  and v = 2 / t2  +  2 ;
2 / t1 - 2 = 2 / t2 + 2 ;
2 / t1 - 2 / t2 = 4 ;
1 / t1 - 1 / t2 = 2 ;
t2 - t1 = 2t1t2 ;
But, t2 = 1 - t1 ;
1 - t1 - t1 = 2t1( 1 - t1 ) ;
1 - 2t1 = 2t1 - 2t1^2 ;
2t1^2 - 4t1 + 1 = 0 ; quadratic equation ;
solving this equation , 
t1 ≈ 0.29 hour ;
v ≈ 2 / 0.29 - 2;
v ≈ 4.89 km/h ;

Given the function g(x) = 6(4)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.
Mademuasel [1]

We are given the function:

g(x) = 6 (4)^x

 

Part A.

To get the average rate of change, we use the formula:

average rate of change = [g(x2) – g(x1)] / (x2 – x1)

 

Section A:

average rate of change = [6 (4)^1 – 6 (4)^0] / (1 – 0) = 18

 

Section B:

average rate of change = [6 (4)^3 – 6 (4)^2] / (3 – 2) = 288

 

Part B.

288 / 18 = 16

Therefore the average rate of change of Section B is 16 times greater than in Section A.

 

<span>The average rate of change is greater between x = 2 to x = 3 than between x = 1 and x = 0 because an exponential function's rate of change increases with increasing x (not constant).</span>

Find the value of x. x√5=x^4​
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

x=0,\sqrt[6]{5}

Decimal form,

x=0,1.30766048......

Step-by-step explanation:

x\sqrt{5}=x^{4}

x\sqrt{5}-x^{4}=0

(take x as a common factor)

x(\sqrt{5}-x^{3})=0

So,

x=0 and \sqrt{5}-x^{3}=0

for \sqrt{5-x^{3}=0

(add x^{3} for both sides)

\sqrt{5}=x^{3}

x=\sqrt[3]{\sqrt[2]{5} } (multiply 3 by 2)

x=\sqrt[6]{5}

So,

x=0,\sqrt[6]{5}
