Answer:

63.44^{0}

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom's resultant speed is calculated as \sqrt{1^{2}+2^{2}  }

= \sqrt{5}

The distance tom swim is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

sin = opposite/hypotenuse = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} }  = 1/5 = 0.2

arcsin (0.2) = 26.56^{0}

upstream angle =

90^{0} - 26.56^{0} =

63.44^{0}

If $95 is put in an account that gets 6% and I add $18 at the end of each year, how much will I have at the end of 11 years?
Temka [501]
6% of $95 = $5.70
multiply $5.70 by 11 years = $62.70 <— interest gained over 11 years
multiply $18 by 11 years = $198 <— total added over 11 years 
add $95 + $62.70 + $198 = $355.70
there will be a total of $355.70 in your account after 11 years

What is one factor of 2x^2-32y^2
serg [7]
Here you have two terms connected by the "subtraction" symbol.

The two coefficients are 2 and 32, and one factor common to both of these is 2.     Thus, <span>2x^2-32y^2 = 2(x^2-16y^2).

You could stop here.  But it'd make more sense to continue, since x^2-16y^2 is easy to factor:

The three factors of </span><span>2x^2-32y^2  are 2, x-4 and x+4</span>

A homeowner is installing a swimming pool in his backyard. he want its length to be 4 feet longer than its width. then he wants
marishachu [46]
1. You have that:

 - The homeowner<span> want the length of the swimming pool to be 4 feet longer than its width.</span> 
 - He wants to surround it with a concrete walkway 3 feet wide.
 - He can only afford 300 square feet of concrete for the walkway.

 2. Therefore, the tota area is:

 At=L2xW2

 L2 is the lenght of the walkway (L2=L1+3+3⇒L2=(W1+4+6)⇒L2=W1+10).
 W2 is the width of the walkway (W1+3+3⇒W2=W1+6)

 3. The area of the walkway is:

 A2=At-A1

 A2=300 ft²

 4. Therefore, you have that the width of the swimming pool is:

 A2=(W1+10)(W1+6)-(W1+4)(W1)
 300=(W1²+6W1+10W1+60)-(W1²+4W1)
 W1²+16W1+60-W1²-4W1-300=0
 12W1-240=0
 W1=240/12
 W1=20 ft

 5. And the length is:

 L1=W1+4
 L1=20+4
 L1=24 ft
