R = speed in still water
r + c = speed with current
r - c = speed against current

3.5(r + c) = 70
r + c = 20
c = 20 - r

4(r + c) = distance from pier to pier
5(r - c) = distance from pier to pier
4(r + c) = 5(r - c)
4(r + 20 - r) = 5(r - 20 + r)
80 = 10r - 100
180 = 10r
18 = r
The speed in still water is 18 km/hour

Darryl has written 60 percent, or 12 pages, of his history report. Darryl wants to figure out how many total pages he needs to w
Valentin [98]

Answer:

total pages = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of an unknown number is 12

Let the unknown number (total pages) be x.

60/100 of x = 12

60/100 * x = 12

3/5 x = 12

x = 12 * 5/3

x = 20

F(x)=tan(x)
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x). Therefore, tan(x) pi/2 = 1/0, which doesn't exist. Imagine that, instead of 0, it's a number incredibly close to 0. The smaller the number in the denominator, the bigger the outcome. Therefore, we can think of 1/0 as infinity, or approaching infinity as one gets closer to 1/0. This is the same result approaching from the negative side, only it's negative infinity. If x=0, it's 0/1 instead (sin 0=0, cos 0=1). Anything divided by 1 is itself, so as x approaches 0, so does f(x).</span>
