Speed against current = 120 miles / 6 hours = 20 miles / hour
Speed with current = 120 miles /5 hours = 24 miles / hour.

Speed of boat in still water = (20+24)/2 = 22 miles / hour

Claire's bedroom measures 16 feet by 18 feet if the purple carpet that she wants to buy costs $3.59 per square foot what will it
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Cost of purple carpet for Claire's bedroom is $1033.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The dimension of bedroom are given as 16 feet and 18 feet.

Hence we can say that;

Length = 18 feet

width = 16 feet

Cost of carpet per square feet = $3.59

We will first find the area of the bedroom.

Area of bedroom can be calculated by multiplying length with width.

Area of bedroom = 16 \times 18 = 288 ft^2

Hence Area of bedroom is 288 square feet.

Now we know that;

Cost of carpet per square feet = $3.59

Hence Cost of carpet  for 288 square feet is ;

we will unitary method to find the same;

Cost of carpet for bedroom = \$3.59 \times 288 = \$1033.92

Hence Cost of carpet for Claire's bedroom is $1033.92.

I can't figure this out
andriy [413]
Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c


Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then 
−15 = 4a + 2b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then 
−5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5

Solving it we get that 
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

____________________

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

Can someone help me

Step-by-step explanation:

10)

any triangle inscribed into a circle with the baseline being a diameter of the circle must be a right-angled triangle.

the arc angle of 84° means that also the angle at Q is 84°, because the arc angle is the same as the segment angle at the center of the circle (that is how arc sngles are defined).

that means the supplementary angle (together they have 180°) of Q at the inner top angle of the small left triangle is 180 - 84 = 96°.

as the legs of this small left triangle are both the radius of the circle, this triangle is an isoceles triangle (both legs are equally long, and both angles at its baseline are equally large).

remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

so,

y = (180 - 96)/2 = 42°

x is a complimentary angle (together they are 90°, remember, the large triangle is inscribed and is right-angled) to the second 42° angle

x = 90 - 42 = 48°

11)

y is the supplementary angle to 126°

y = 180 - 126 = 54°

this inner segment angle is the mean value between the 2 outer angles.

54 = (57 + 2nd outer angle of y)/2

108 = 57 + 2nd outer angle of y

2nd outer angle of y = 108 - 57 = 51°

all arc angles around a circle must be 360°.

x = 360 - 57 - 104 - 51 = 148°

12)

again, all arc angles together must be 360°.

y = 360 - 148 = 212°

x is the same angle as the top angle of a triangle inscribed to the right of the chord.

and that angle is half of the opposing arc angle (148°).

it is therefore 148/2 = 74°

and so,

x = 74°

Which statements are true about the median of a data set? Check all that apply. The median isn’t affected much by one outlier. T
sasho [114]
These are all the right answers:

The median isn’t affected much by one outlier.

The median is the number in the middle of an ordered set of data.

To find the median of an even data set, find the average of the two middle numbers.

Hope this helped :)
