On a particular day, the wind added 4 miles per hour to Jaime's rate when she was rowing with the wind and subtracted 4 miles pe

r hour from her rate on her return trip. Jaime found that in the same amount of time she could row 54 miles with the wind, she could go only 30 miles against the wind.What is her normal rowing speed with no wind?

Nice so
remember
t=d/s
a(b+c)=ab+ac

time=distance/speed

lets say s=jamie's normal speed
speed agains wind=s-4
speed with wind=s+4

30 miles is agains wind
distance is 54 with wind


t=d/s
t=30/(s-4)
t=54/(s+4)

since they are both equal to t, set them equal to each other

30/(s-4)=54/(s+4)
multipliy both sides by (s+4)(s-4)
30(s+4)=54(s-4)
distribute
30s+120=54s-216
subtract 30s from both sides
120=24s-216
add 216 to both sides
336=24s
divide both sides by 24
14=s


answer is 14 miles per hour without wind

4x^2-16x-5 can be written in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k.<br> What are the values of a,h, and k.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

h=2

a=4

k= -21

Step-by-step explanation:

your h and k are vertex . h= x coordinate of vertex and k= y

so formula for vertex coordinates is x= -b/2a and y= (4ac-b²)/4a

your a b c are 4 -16 and -5 respectively according to the main equation

your a is concavity which is the same number as the 'a' of the equation

Distinguish whether the ordered pair (16, -3) is a solution to:
sammy [17]
I believe you should try to plug in the ordered pair to see if the solutions work.

The ordered pair is (x,y) because x is on the x-axis and y is on the y-axis, therefore in (16,-3) the x=16 and y=-3.

Now substitute, meaning plug in those numbers into the equation.
For x+2y=10 would be 16+2(-3)=10
Now you just need to solve one side and see if it equals the other side.
16+2(-3)
First you use order of operations to solve this. PEMDAS. So you multiply 2(-3) first because of the parenthesis and it being multiplication.
16+(-6) and when you have a positive number adding a negative number it’s going backwards of the number line, basically meaning subtraction in a way. Sorry if this confuses you, if you already know how to do negatives and such nevermind this part.
But 16+(-6)=10
So now you look at both side of the equation, does the left side equal to the right? 10=10, so yes. It is a solution for that equation.

Now for the next equation, 7y=-21
Again, plug in the ordered pair (16,-3) into the equation. Remember that it’s (x,y).
There is no x in this equation so no need to worry about that; you only plug in y for this one.
7(-3) Now you multiply. Whenever you multiply a positive number and a negative number, the answer will always be negative. So 7(-3) is -21.
Now look if the left side is equivalent to the right. Does -21=-21? Yes. The ordered pair is a solution.

(16,-3) is a solution to both equations.

Hope this helps!

Zolol [24]
We use the tangent for this

tan 26 1   = opposite / adjacent =  h / 205   where h = height of cliff

h = 205 tan 26 1   =    100 feet

What are the original dimensions of the square piece of paper?
Inga [223]

Answer:

6root2 × 6root2

you have to use pythagoras

a²+b²=c²

c=12

12²=144

a²+b²=144

but it is a square so I'll just change a and b to x because it shows they are equal

x²+x²=144

2x²=144

x²=72

x=6root2
