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.

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: Farmer Joe has 1,000 bushels of corn to sell. Presently the market p
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

C. Quadratic model

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: Farmer Joe has 1,000 bushels of corn to sell. Presently the market price for corn is $5.00 a bushel. He expects the market price to increase by $0.15 per week. For each week he waits to sell, he loses ten bushels due to spoilage. A. none of these B. exponential C. quadratic D. linear

Given:

The quantity of corn Farmer Joe has to sell = 1,000 bushels

The present market price for corn = $5.00 a bushel

The amount by which he expects the market price to rise per week =$0.15

The number of bushels lost to spoilage per week = 10

The price of the corn per bushel with time = 5 + 0.15×t

The amount of corn left with time= 1000 - 10×t

Where;

t = Time in minutes

Value of the corn = Amount of corn left × Price of corn

Value of the corn = (1000 - 10×t) × (5 + 0.15×t)

=(1000-10t) × (5+0.15t)

=5,000 + 150t - 50t - 1.5t²

= -1.5t² +100t + 5000

Value of the corn= -1.5t² +100t + 5000.

It is a quadratic model
