Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.

svp [43]

Answer:

Then what is the radius of the circle? Since, the tangent of any point of a line is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. Hence, radius of the circle = 8 cm.

Please help asap!!<br> I think D is one of the answers but i'm not sure
vampirchik [111]

Answer: B, D, and maybe E. Check my explanation for 'E'

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways of visualizing the expression, but Ill try to show it to easiest way possible.

x^\frac{3}{2} =(x^3)^\frac{1}{2}

Notice nothing was changed because of the property of exponents. An exponent to a power means to multiply them. A thing you should remember for all future cases is that the one-half power means square root. It is the exact same thing. Therefore the new expression I created is the square root of 'x' cubed.

A:) This would be equivalent to x^2/3

B:) This is equivalent to x^3/2 because the square root is the 1/2 power to the power of 3.

C:) This would be equivalent to x^2/3

D:) This is equivalent to x^3/2 because the square root is the 1/2 power, but multiplied by the power under the radical.

E:) If this answer is to the third power, then it is equivalent. I cannot tell from this picture.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The short side is 5ft and the longer side 12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I knew that the hypotenuse was 13 so it couldn’t be more than 13. I was guessing at numbers until I got to 5 then added 7. After I use Pythagorean theorem to check and I got 13.
