<span>Traveled Downstream a distance of 33 Mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 12 mph and the total trip took 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Let S = boat speed in still water then                                                                         (s + 12) = downstream speed                                                                                  (s -12) =  upstream speed 
     Given Time = 3 hours 40 minutes = 220 minutes   = (220/60) h = (11/3) h                      Time = Distance/Speed
                  33/(s +12) + 33/(s-12) = 11/3                                                                               3{33(s-12) + 33(s +12)} = 11(s+12) (s -12)                                                          99(s -12 + s + 12) = 11(</span> s^{2} + 12 s -12 s -144)                                                   99(2 s) = 11(s^{2} -144)                                                                                        198 s/11 = (s^{2} -144)                                                                                         18 s = (s^{2} -144)                                                                                            (s^{2} - 18 s - 144) = 0                                                                                         s^{2} - 24 s + 6 s -144 =0                                                                                       s(s- 24) + 6(s -24) =0                                                                                            (s -24) (s + 6) = 0                                                                                                  s -24 = 0, s + 6 =0                                                                                                s = 24, s = -6                                                                     Answer) s = 24 mph is the average speed of the boat relative to the water.

11. Mr Lee bought a second hand car for
Marrrta [24]

Answer :

Depends on the rate compound interest is accrued. See answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the compound interest formula which is:

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A =  final amount

P =  initial principal balance

r =  interest rate

n =  number of times interest applied per time period

t =  number of time periods elapsed

It doesn't say how frequently the interest is compounded, so we will do monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

MONTHLY

So we know the car costs $25,480 and he made a down payment of $10,000. By subtracting the down payment from the purchase price we find the loan amount.

$25,480 - $10,000 = $15,480

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 12  (12 months in a year)

t = 2  

Plug everything into the compound interest formula.

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{12*2}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{24}

A = 15480(1+.00396)^{24}

A = 15480(1.00396)^{24}

A = 15480*1.0992

A = $17016.14

Mr. Lee paid $17,016.14 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded monthly.

QUARTERLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 4  (4 quarters in a year)

t = 2  

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{4*2}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{8}

A = 15480(1+.0119})^{8}

A = 15480(1.0119)^{8}

A = 15480*1.099

A = 15480(1.099)

A = 17013.20

Mr. Lee paid $17,013.20 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded quarterly.

YEARLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 1  

t = 2  

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{1})^{1*2}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{2}

A = 15480(1+.0475})^{2}

A = 15480(1.0475)^{2}

A = 15480*1.0973

A = 16985.53

Mr. Lee paid $16,985.53  when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded yearly.

If the diameter of a circle with a circumference of 19.5 inches is reduced by three, what would be the circumference of the new
Elanso [62]

It is given that the circumference of the circle is 19.5 inches. Let the diameter is d inches .

And the formula of circumference is

C= \pi d

Substituting the value of C, we will get

19.5= \pi d&#10;\\&#10;d = \frac{19.5}{ \pi}

When the diameter increased by 3, then the circumference is

C = \pi ( \frac{19.5}{ \pi} +3})=Approx 29 inches

And the circumference , when diameter is increased by 3 is 29 inches .
