Answer:

Speed_still  = 12.25 mi/h

Speed_current = 1.75 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first trip, the motorboat goes upstream

Speed_boat = Speed_still - Speed_stream

The speed is defined as

Speed = Distance / time

This means

Speed_boat  = 21 miles/ 2 h = 10.5 mi/h

Then

Speed_still - Speed_stream = 10.5 mi/h

In the second trip:

Speed_boat = Speed_still + Speed_stream

Speed_boat  = 21 miles/ 1.5 h = 14 mi/h

Speed_still + Speed_stream = 14 mi/h

Then, the ystem of equations result

Speed_still + Speed_stream = 14 mi/h

Speed_still - Speed_stream = 10.5 mi/h

If we add them together

2*Speed_still  = 24.5 mi/h

Speed_still  = 12.25 mi/h

Speed_stream  = 14 mi/h - 12.25 mi/ h = 1.75 mi/h

Describe the error in the work shown.
mihalych1998 [28]

The error was in second step.

3√(y^3)^4 = y^4

(Cube root cancels cube and not power 4)

The answer should be:

xy^4/4

What is the value of x?​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

We are told our volume is 500pi/3, so we fill that in and solve for r:

\frac{500\pi}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Start by multiplying both sides by 3 over 4 pi:

(\frac{3}{4\pi})\frac{500\pi}{3}=(\frac{3}{4\pi})\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3

Simplifying gives us

125=r^3

Take the cubed root of both sides to get that

r = 5
