S1 = speed of boat 1

<span> t1 =  time to do 1400 meters (boat 1) </span>

S1*t1 = 1400

<span><span>S2  </span>= speed of boat 2 </span>

1400 + S2*t1 = X

t2 = time to do X + 600 (boat 2)

S1*t2 = X + 600

S2*t2 = 2X - 600

S1 = 1400/t1

S2 = (X-1400)/t1

<span>T = t2/t1  </span>

1400*T = X + 600

X*T - 1400*T = 2X - 600

X = 3600 meters

<span> River is 3600 meters wide</span>

What are the solutions to the equation? x^3 - 8x^2 - x + 8 =0
kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 8x² - x + 8 =0

x^3 - 8x² - (x - 8 )=0

x²(x-8) - (x-8) = 0

(x-8)(x² -1) =0

x-8 = 0  or x² - 1 = 0

x-8=0 or (x-1)(x+1)=0

x=8 x=1 or x=-1
