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.

Answer:

  {1, 5, 25, 125, 625}

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest positive integers that meet the requirement will be ...

  5^0 = 1

  5^1 = 5

  5^2 = 25

  5^3 = 125

  5^4 = 625

As a set, these numbers are {1, 5, 25, 125, 625}.

Why there must be at least two lines on any given plane
ratelena [41]
Although theoretically there are infinite lines in space and in a plane, too, at least three non collinear points are necessary to define a plane. Two intersecting lines will therefore be necessary to define it (two points create a line); these intersecting lines are the ones to help define coordinates (x,y).
