Answer:

The boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water.

Let x be the speed of the current.

Speed of boat in upstream

(15-x)\text{ kph}

Speed of water in downstream

(15+x)\text{ kph}

Relation:

\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

We have to find the speed of boat in downstream.

Time to travel upstream for 35 km = Time to travel  140 km downstream

\displaystyle\frac{35}{15-x}=\frac{140}{15+x}\\\\35(15+x) = 140(15-x)\\525 + 35x = 2100 - 140x\\175x = 1575\\x = 9

Thus, speed of current is 9 kph.

Speed of boat in downstream = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.

Thus, the boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

laiz [17]

Answer:

I believe its 36

Step-by-step explanation:

so what i id is a took apart the answer, if 1 1/4 if 10 cups the 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 would also be 10 cups, so now i know that 1/4 = 2 servings

eso i took 3. 1/4 and that gave me 6 and now add the previous which is 10 so its 16 and i have   2 cups left

from here i knew 1 cup and 1/4 is 10 so subtract 1/4 which is -2 servings and you have 8 and 8+8 is 16 so

then i added

16+16= 36

which leads to my final answer of 36

Im so sorry if im wronge but if its right please give brainlest

The slope of the the tangent line to a curve at a point. Calc derivative help
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

y = 108x + 216

Step-by-step explanation:

given

y = 4x³ then \frac{dy}{dx} = 12x² = m_{tgt}

x = 3 ⇒ m = 12(- 3)² = 108

equation of tangent in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept ), hence

y = 108x + b

To find b substitute (- 3, - 108) into the equation

- 108 = -324 + b ⇒ b = - 108 + 324 = 216

y = 108x + 216 ← equation of tangent
