D=vt

So they will travel downstream and upstream the same distance.  Downstream they will travel:

d=(2+18)t1

Upstream they will travel:

u=(18-2)t2

Since d=u we can say:

20t1=16t2

We are told the trip lasts 3 hours so t1+t2=3, t2=3-t1, using this in the equation above we have:

20t1=16(3-t1)

20t1=48-16t1

36t1=48

t1=4/3 hours, and from earlier we saw that d=20t1 so:

d=20*4/3

d=80/3 miles

d=26 2/3 miles.

A binary operation is defined on the set of real numbers ℝ by
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

I. m = 2401

II. ((n+1) ∆ y)/n = 1/n[(n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1]

Step-by-step explanation:

I. Determination of m

x ∆ y = x² − 2xy + y²

2 ∆ − 5 = √m

2² − 2(2 × –5) + (–5)² = √m

4 – 2(–10) + 25 = √m

4 + 20 + 25 = √m

49 = √m

Take the square of both side

49² = m

2401 = m

m = 2401

II. Simplify ((n+1) ∆ y)/n

We'll begin by obtaining (n+1) ∆ y. This can be obtained as follow:

x ∆ y = x² − 2xy + y²

(n+1) ∆ y = (n+1)² – 2(n+1)y + y²

(n+1) ∆ y = n² + 2n + 1 – 2ny – 2y + y²

(n+1) ∆ y = n² + 2n – 2ny – 2y + y² + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = n² – 2ny + y² + 2n – 2y + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = n² – ny – ny + y² + 2n – 2y + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = n(n – y) – y(n – y) + 2(n – y) + 1

(n+1) ∆ y = (n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1

((n+1) ∆ y)/n = [(n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1] / n

((n+1) ∆ y)/n = 1/n[(n – y + 2)(n – y) + 1]

I need help with this<br>​
zzz [600]

Answer:

Yes because 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

25+ 144= 169

169 = 169
