Answer:

  22 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Against the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(6 h) = 20 mi/h

With the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(5 h) = 24 mi/h

___

The sum of boat speed (b) and current speed (c) is 24 mph. The difference is 20 mph. This lets us write the equations ...

  b + c = 24

  b - c = 20

Adding these two equations together, we get ...

  2b + 0c = 44

  b = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The rate of the boat in still water is 22 miles per hour.

Which best describes the range of the function f(x)=2/3(6)x after it has been reflected over the x axis
shtirl [24]
The range is all real numbers.

The function given simplifies to just f(x) = 4x.

This is just a straight line that is increasing from left to right. If we reflect the line over the x-axis, it is still a line that goes on forever in each direction.

Therefore, the range will be all real numbers.

Answer:

A) arithmetic sequence

g(n) = 20 + 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Each minute, the number of pages increases by 3, which means the common difference is 3 (because it is being added, not multiplied).

If there is a common difference, it's an arithmetic sequence. (Geometric sequences have common ratios.)

If she starts at 20 pages, then you just need to multiply 3 by the number of minutes passed (n) and add it to 20 to find the page she's on.
