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

What is the value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
loris [4]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all the angles are the same in this triangle, all the sides should be the same too.

Hence, 3x - 5 = 4x - 30

5 + -1x = -30

-1x = -35

x = 35

Hope this helped!

Precalc help needed, find g ° f!
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

g o f = -[f(x)]² + 3 = -(|x|)² + 3 = -x² + 3 = g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

g o f = g [ f(x) ]

This means replace the x of g(x) with f(x):

g o f = -[f(x)]² + 3 = -(|x|)² + 3

As x² ≥ 0 for any value of x (whether it be positive or negative), then -(|x|)² + 3 = -x² + 3 = g(x)

So g o f = g(x)
