P = paddling speed

C = speed of the current

Upstream: 6 = 4 (P - C. Downstream: 6 = 3 (P + C)

4P - 4C = 6

3P + 3C = 6

12P - 12C = 18

12P + 12C = 24

Add the equations:

24P = 42. P = 42/24 = 1.75 mph

Subtract the equations:

-24C = -6

C = 0.25 mph

IgorC [24]
The sequence is, in fact, quadratic. It is described by the equation
.. a[n] = (n*(n -1))/2 +2

First differences are increasing, so the sequence will not be arithmetic. An arithmetic sequence has constant first differences.

Second differences are constant, so the sequence will not be geometric. A geometric sequence will have first-, second-, third-differences, and those to any level, that have the same constant ratio as the terms of the original sequence.
