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.

Find the value of x in 4:x::x:16
AnnyKZ [126]

Given:

4:x::x:16

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

4:x::x:16

It means, we have

4:x = x:16

It can be rewritten as

\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{x}{16}

On cross multiplication, we get

4\times 16=x\times x

64=x^2

Taking square root on both sides.

\pm \sqrt{64}=x

\pm 8=x

Since ratio can be negative or positive, therefore, the value of x is either -8 or 8.

What is the base of the exponetim the function f(x)=3(3/8)^2 when the function f(x)=3
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Depending on what the equation is (see below for options) answers are:

\frac{log1}{log\frac{3}{8}} = x or -1,1=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Two possibilities are present:

  • The base of an exponential function is the number raised to an exponent of x. f(x) = 3(3/8)^x. The base here is 3/8. To find when f(x) = 3, then substitute and solve. 3=3(\frac{3}{8})^x\\1=(\frac{3}{8})^x\\log 1 = log \frac{3}{8}^x\\\frac{log1}{log\frac{3}{8}} = x
  • If this is a quadratic function then it has a base of x. f(x) = 3(x)^2. To find when f(x) = 3 then substitute and solve. 3=3(x^2)\\1=x^2\\1,-1=x
