64 A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream. After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after f

irst leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current. Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour, find the speed of the river’s current.

Let c represent the speed of the current.

time = distance / speed

total time = time going upriver + time going downriver
2 2/3 = 6/(9 -c) + 6/c
(8/3)(c)(9 -c) = 6c +6(9 -c)
(8/3)c^2 -24c +54 = 0
c = (24 ± √((-24)^2 -4(8/3)(54)))/(2*8/3)
.. = (3/16)(24)
c = 4.5

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/h.

Sue initially has 5 hours of pop music and 4 hours of classical music in her collection. Every month onwards, the hours of pop m
Snezhnost [94]
<h2>Answer</h2>

f(x) = 5(1.25)x + 4

<h2>Explanation</h2>

To solve this, we are going to use the standard exponential equation:

f(x)=a(1+b)^x

where

a is the initial amount

b is the growth rate in decimal form

x is the time (in months for our case)

Since the hours of classic music remain constant, we just need to add them at the end. We know form our problem that Sue initially has 5 hours of pop, so a=5; we also know that every month onward, the hours of pop music in her collection is 25% more than what she had the previous month, so b=\frac{25}{100} =0.25. Now let's replace the values in our function:

f(x)=a(1+b)^x

f(x)=5(1+0.25)^x

f(x)=5(1.25)^x

Now we can add the hours of classical music to complete our function:

f(x)=5(1.25)^x+5

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.90
Alik [6]
Let the number of children be c, and the number of adults be a.
c + a = 170 (total number of tickets)
Then the cost of each is: $5.90/child, $9.60/adult:
5.9c + 9.6a = 1269.40 (total sales)
Solving as 2 simultaneous equations, we first transform the first equation:
a = 170 - c
Substitute into the 2nd equation:
5.9c + 9.6(170 - c) = 1269.40
Solving gives c = 98, and a = 170 - 98 = 72. This means that 72 adult tickets were sold that day.

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)=2(3)x from x = 2 to x = 4?
ruslelena [56]
X) = 3 ln(x)

g(x=2) = 3 ln(2)
g(x=4) = 3 ln(4) = 3 ln(22) = 6 ln2

We have two ordered pairs:

(x,3 ln(2)) and (4,6 ln(2))

The average rate of change is the slope (m) of the secant line connecting the two points:

m = (6 ln2 - 3 ln2)/(4-2) = 3ln(2)/2 ≅ 1.04
