Two boats on opposite banks of a river start moving towards each other. They first pass each other 1400 meters from one bank. Th

ey each continue to the opposite bank, immediately turn around and start back to the other bank. When they pass each other a second time, they are 600 meters from the other bank. We assume that each boat travels at a constant speed all along the journey. Find the width of the river?

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>

Write the equation of a line (in slope /intercept form) that is parallel to -2x + 4y = 100 and goes through the (8, -7)
dangina [55]

Answer:

y = ½x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that goes through (8, -7) and is parallel to -2x + 4y = 100, will have the same slope as the line, but different y-intercept (b).

Let's find the slope of -2x + 4y = 100 by rewriting in the slope-intercept form.

-2x + 4y = 100

Add 2x to both sides

4y = 2x + 100

Divide both sides by 4

y = 2x/4 + 100/4

y = ½x + 25

The slope of the given line is ½. Since the line that goes through (8, -7) is parallel to -2x + 4y = 100, therefore the slope (m) is also ½.

To find the y-intercept (b), substitute m = ½, x = 8, and y = -7 into y = mx + b.

-7 = ½(8) + b

-7 = 4 + b

-7 - 4 = b

-11 = b

b = -11

Substitute m = ½ and b = -11 into y = mx + b to get the equation of the line that is parallel to -2x + 4y = 100.

y = ½x + (-11)

y = ½x - 11

How can you solve quadratic equation in one variable using factoring method?​
Tresset [83]
Take a quadratic equation in standard form:
If there exists a sum of two numbers that equal b, whose addends produce a product that equals c. You can rewrite the quadratic as a product of two binomials.


For example take
When thought through throughly, -5 had addends, -2 and -3 that produce 6 when multiplied
Thus, we can rewrite the quadratic as.

Question 2 Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
damaskus [11]

Answer:

B = \frac{3}{2} * 21,356

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Jimmy with J and Bob with B

J = 21,356

B = 1\frac{1}{2} * J

Required

Determine the expression for B

B = 1\frac{1}{2} * J

Substitute 21,356 for J

B = 1\frac{1}{2} * 21,356

Convert Mixed fraction to improper

B = \frac{3}{2} * 21,356

The above is an expression for B

Solving further, we have

B = \frac{3 * 21,356}{2}

B = \frac{64068}{2}

B = 32034
