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.

Answer:

7. about 41.8 degrees or 0.72972 radians (used sin^{-1} (\frac{4}{6} ), because the given leg is opposite from the angle)

8. about 50.4 degrees or 0.87946 radians (used tan^{-1} (\frac{29}{24} ))

9. about 12.8 degrees or 0.224 radians (used sin^{-1} (\frac{12}{54} ))

10. about 51.3 degrees or 0.8957 radians (used cos^{-1} (\frac{25}{40} ), given leg is opposite from angle)

Step-by-step explanation:

S.O.H.--C.A.H.--T.O.A

sine = opposite (to angle)/hypotenuse

cosine = adjacent (to angle)/hypotenuse

tangent = opposite (to angle)/adjacent (to angle)

I didn't know if it was degrees or radians, so I did both! I saw you on the film question asking for help, so I just wanted to do so! Have a great day!

A ramp leading into a building makes a 15o angle with the ground. the end of the ramp is 10 feet from the base of the building.
Oksanka [162]
We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
shutvik [7]
55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

For f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=x²-6, find (f-g)(x)
Lorico [155]

The value of (f - g)(x) is -x² + 3x + 7.

<h3>What is Function?</h3>

The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.

Here, the given functions are;

   f(x) = 3x + 1

   g(x) = x² - 6

Now,

 (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

              = (3x + 1) - (x² - 6)

              = 3x + 1 - x² + 6

(f - g)(x)  = -x² + 3x + 7

Thus, the value of (f - g)(x) is -x² + 3x + 7.

Which is not in proportion a) 2 : 4 = 3 : 6 b) 1 : 3 = 3 : 9 c) 4 : 6 = 3 : 2 d) 5 : 1 = 10 : 2
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

2 : 4 ( divide both values by 2)

= 1 : 2

3 : 6 ( divide both values by 3 )

= 1 : 2

Thus 2 : 4 = 3 : 6

(b)

3 : 9 ( divide both values by 3 )

= 1 : 3

Thus 1 : 3 = 3 : 9

(c)

4 : 6 ( divide both values by 2 )

= 2 : 3 ≠ 3 : 2

(d)

10 : 2 ( divide both values by 2 )

= 5 : 1

Thus 5 : 1 = 10 : 2
