<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.
If the discriminant, b² - 4ac is<u> positive</u>
<h3>How to complete the statement?</h3>
From the question, we have the following equation of discriminant
The discriminant (d) is calculated as
d = b² - 4ac
The solutions of a quadratic equation are dependent on the following conditions
- If d = 0, the quadratic equation has 1 real solution
- If d < 0, the quadratic equation has imaginary solutions
- If d > 0, the quadratic equation has 2 different real solutions
This means that "d > 0, the quadratic equation has 2 different real solutions" implies that the discriminant is positive
Hence, the complete statement is (b) positive

X + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 = 84.
4x + 60 = 84.
84 − 60 = 24
4x = 24.
24 / 4 = 6 = x.
