The fisherman rowed a total of 22.4 miles.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the distance from his starting point to the turn around point is d mile.

Given that, upstream speed is 2 mph and downstream speed is 8 mph.

We know that,  Time= \frac{Distance}{Speed}

So, the time required to row d miles upstream = \frac{d}{2}  hours and the time required to row d miles downstream = \frac{d}{8}  hours.

As the entire trip took 7 ​hours, so the equation will be......

\frac{d}{2}+\frac{d}{8}= 7\\ \\ 8(\frac{d}{2}+\frac{d}{8})= 8*7\\ \\ 4d+d= 56\\ \\ 5d= 56\\ \\ d= \frac{56}{5}=11.2

So, the fisherman rowed a total of (11.2×2) miles = 22.4 miles

Suppose f and g are continuous functions such that g(6) = 6 and lim x → 6 [3f(x) + f(x)g(x)] = 45. Find f(6).
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Since g(6)=6, and both functions are continuous, we have:

\lim_{x \to 6} [3f(x)+f(x)g(x)] = 45\\\\\lim_{x \to 6} [3f(x)+6f(x)] = 45\\\\lim_{x \to 6} [9f(x)] = 45\\\\9\cdot lim_{x \to 6} f(x) = 45\\\\lim_{x \to 6} f(x)=5


if a function is continuous at a point c, then lim_{x \to c} f(x)=f(c), 

that is, in a    c ∈  a continuous interval, f(c) and the limit of f as x approaches c are the same.


Thus, since lim_{x \to 6} f(x)=5, f(6) = 5
