A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst

ream from Glenavon to Cambria, which is 2 miles downstream from Greentown, in g hours. Find the rate of the current.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.  Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water  

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?  

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).


Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour.  On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour.  The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour.  Put this info in the second column in the chart.  Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points
professor190 [17]
Slope= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-\frac{9}{2} - (-1)}{-2- (-\frac{5}{3})}=\frac{ - \frac{9}{2} +  1}{-2 +   \frac{5}{3}} \\=  \frac{ - \frac{7}{2}}{ - \frac{1}{3}} \\= \frac{ - \frac{7}{2}\cdot6}{ - \frac{1}{3}\cdot6} \\=\frac{-21}{ -2}  \\  =\boxed{\bf{ \frac{21}{2}}}

So... none of your answers are correct. The correct answer is 21/2.

A fine fabric was selling for $10.50 per half yard. Joni bought 2 1/3 yards. How much did he spend? Brainliest for correct answe
gregori [183]

Answer:

$49 is spended by him.

solution given:

rate=for $10.50 per half yard=$10.50/0.5=$21 per yard

area=2 1/3=7/3yards

now

total cost =rate× area =$21×7/3=$49

50PTS!<br> Describe the vertical asymptotes and holes for the graph of y = x-5/x^2 -1
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Ok

first of all, for q(x)/p(x)
if the degree of q(x) is less than the degree of p(x),then the horizontal assemtote is 0

then simplify
any factors you factored out is now a hole, remember them

to find the vertical assemtotes of a function, set the SIMPLIFIED denomenator equal to 0 and solve

so

y=(x-5)/(x^2-1)
q(x)<p(x)
horizontal assemtote is y=0

no factors to simplify so no holes

set denomenator to 0 to find vertical assemtote
x^2-1=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0
x=1

x+1=0
x=-1

the horizontal assemtotes are x=1 and -1
