Let the speed of the current be x mi/hr
speed upstream=(12-x) mi/hr
speed downstream=(12+x) mi/hr
It takes 3 hours longer to travel upstream than downstream, thus
time taken upstream=68/(12-x)
time taken to travel downstream=68/(12+x)
the difference in time will be:
68/(12-x)-68/(12+x)=3
solving for x we get:
x=2.98 mi/hr

Thus the rate of current is 2.98 mi/hr

Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle DEF. What is the measure of angle DEF? Refer to image, please show work :)
Ne4ueva [31]
Remember, all the interior angles of a triangle equals 180.
So in triangle ABC, it already gives us two out of the three angles. 

First, we add 52 and 36 and that gives us 88.

Now we subtract 88 from 180.

180 - 88 = 92

So that means that ∠ABC is 92°

Now we have to look at triangle DEF. 
The equation says that triangle DEF is similar to triangle ABC.

Looking at the picture, triangle DEF is smaller and is flipped upside down.

So that means that ∠ABC ≈ ∠DEF

In similar triangles, the measurements of angles does NOT change. Just the side length.

So since ∠ABC = 92° that means that ∠DEF = 92°

How to find domain and range of a parabola?
german
The domain is the value of x, the range is the value of y.
A parabola opens infinitely to the right and left, so x can be any number, the domain is all real numbers
Vertically, however, a parabola opens only one way, either upward or downward. when it opens upward from a a certain level, say, the lower point (the vertex) has a y coordinate of 2, we say the range is all real numbers larger than or equal to 2, or y≥2. When it opens downward, we say the range is all real numbers smaller or equal to 2, y≤2
