Answer:

The speed in still water is 5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

distance with current = 90 miles

distance against current = 10 miles

speed in still water = s

speed of current = 4 mph

speed with current = s + 4

speed against current = s - 4

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

With current:

90 = (s + 4) * t

Against the current:

10 = (s - 4) * t

We have a system of equations:

90 = (s + 4) * t

10 = (s - 4) * t

90 = ts + 4t

10 = ts - 4t

Subtract the second equation from the first equation.

80 = 8t

10 = t

t = 10

10 = t(s - 4)

10 = 10(s - 4)

1 = s - 4

s = 5

Answer: The speed in still water is 5 miles per hour.

Identify the slope from the points (1,-3) and (4,2) identify the slope for each graph
Aliun [14]

Answer:

First: 1/4

Second: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST:

You can easily solve this problem by creating a slope triangle between the points given.

1 up

———————- = 1/4

4 to the right


SECOND:

To solve for slope with two points, you do y1-y2/x1-x2.

1-4      -3

—— = — = 3/5

List the angles of triangle ABC in order from smallest to largest measure if AB=9, AC=11, and BC=10
nadezda [96]
The angles go in the same order as the sides across from them.
AB is the smallest side so angle C is across from it.
BC is the middle length so angle A is the middle angle. AC is the longest side so angle B is the largest angle.

2x^3-3x^2-11x+6 divide by x-3
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 2x^2+3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do long division, which is very very hard to show with typing on a keyboard. You essentially want to divide the leading coefficient for each term. Ill try my best to explain it.

Do \frac{2x^3}{x}=2x^2. Write 2x^2 down. Now multiply (x - 3) by it. Then subtract it from the trinomial.

2x^2*(x-3)=2x^3 -6x^2\\(2x^3 -3x^2-11x+6)-(2x^3-6x^2) = 3x^2-11x+6

Now do \frac{3x^2}{x} =3x. Write that down next to your 2x^2. Multiply 3x by (x - 3) to get:

3x(x-3)=3x^2-9x\\(3x^2-11x+6)-(3x^2-9x)=-2x+6

Your final step is to do \frac{-2x}{x} =-2. Write this -2 next to your other two parts

Multiply -2 by (x - 3) to get:

-2(x-3)=-2x+6\\(-2x+6)-(-2x+6)=0

Our remainder is 0 so that means (x - 3) goes into that trinomial exactly:

2x^2+3x-2 times
