Answer:

time upstream=24/8=3 hours

time downstream=24/12=2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If R*T=D, and R is speed + or - current, how can you find the rate without the time, and how can you find the time without the rate?

THE KEY WAS WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT IT TAKES ONE HOUR LONGER TO GO UPSTREAM THAN DOWNSTREAM BECAUSE T=D/R AND WE ARE TOLD THAT:

D/R(Upstream) minus 1 equals D/R (DOWNSTREAM)

Let x=rate of current

distance(d)=rate(r) times time(t) or d=rt or t=d/r

distance upstream=distance downstream=24 mi

rate upstream=10-x

rate downstream=10+x

time upstream=(distance upstream)/(rate upstream)=24/(10-x)

time downstream=(distance downstream)/(rate downstream)=24/(10+x)

Now, we are told that time upstream minus one hour equals time downstream. So our equation to solve is:

24/(10-x)-1=24/(10+x) Multiply both sides by (10-x)(10+x)

24(10+x)(10-x)/(10-x)-1(10-x)(10+x)=24(10-x)/(10+x)/(10+x) clear fractions

24(10+x)-(10-x)(10+x)=24(10-x) clear parens

240+24x-100-10x+10x+x^2=240-24x subtract 240 from and add 24x to both sides

240-240+24x+24x-100+x^2=240-240-24x+24x collect like terms

x^2+48x-100=0 ----------------quadratic equation in standard form

This equation can be factored:

(x+50)(x-2)=0

x=-50 mph----------------discount the negative value for speed

and

x=2 mph----------------------speed of the current

10-x=10-2= 8 mph -----------------------speed upstream

10+x=10+2=12 mph--------------------------speed downstream

time upstream=24/8=3 hours

time downstream=24/12=2 hours

so 3-2=1----takes 1 hour longer upstream

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question:)

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:
The roots are:
$\sqrt{10} - 5$ and $-\sqrt{10} - 5$

Explanation:
First, we will need to expand the bracket on the left and then put teh equation i standard form which is:
ax² + bx + c = 0

This can be done as follows:
(x+5)² = 10
(x)² + 2(x)(5) + (5)² = 10
x² + 10x + 25 - 10 = 0
x² + 10x + 15 = 0

By comparison, we can find that:
a = 1
b = 10
c = 15

Now to get the roots, we would need to use the quadratic formula shown in the attached image.

By substitution, we would find that:
either x = $\sqrt{10} - 5$
or x = $- \sqrt{10} - 5$

Hope this helps :)

Bridget is asked to simplify the expression below.

mixas84 [53]

So simplify the equation
remember
add like terms
x+x=2x
1+1=2
2x+4x=6x
3x^2+3x^2=6x^2
cannnot add x and x^2

so grou plike terms

-5x-3x+1x+4-1-9
add
-5-3+1=-7 and 4-1-9=-6 so
-7x-6 is the answer
ax+b
-7x-6
a=-7
b=-6

a disc is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 62 ft/s.its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h

Korolek [52]

Given that the height of the disc is modeled by the function:
h=-16t^2+20t+6
a] The maximum height will be as follows:
At maximum height:
h'(t)=0
from h(t)
h'(t)=-32t+20=0
thus
t=20/32
t=5/8 sec
thus the maximum height will be:
h(5/8)=-16(5/8)^2+20(5/8)+6
=12.25 ft

b] <span>How long will it take the disc to reach the maximum height?
</span>time taken to reach maximum height will be:
from h(t)
h'(t)=-32t+20=0
thus
t=20/32
t=5/8 sec
thus time taken to reach maximum height is t=5/8 sec

c]<span>How long does it take for the disc to be caught 3 feet off the ground?
</span>h(t)=-16t^2+20t+6
but
h(t)=3
thus
3=-16t^2+20t+6
solving for t we get:
0=-16t^2+20t+3
factoring the above we get:
t=5/8-/+√37/8
t=-1.5256 or 2.776
since there is no negative time we pick t=2.776
Hence time taken for the disc to be caught 3 ft from the ground is 2.776 ft
