Answer:

$a_{5}=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the 5th term of a sequence or any term you have to substitute n for the desired term in your case the result is the following

$a_{n}=2n\\a_{5}=2(5)\\a_{5}=10$

Boat takes 3 hours to go 6 miles upstream. it can go 18 miles downstream in the same time. find the rate of the current and the

svet-max [94.6K]

Find the MPH of the boat when it goes upstream... 3h / 6m = 1h / 2m
So, 2mph
Speed of the boat - current = 2mph - > x - y = 2
Find the MPH of the boat going downstream... 3h / 18m = 1h / 6m
So, 6mph
x + y = 6
We now have a system of equation, let's solve it!

x - y = 2 -> x = y + 2
x + y = 6 - > (y + 2) + y = 6 -> 2y + 2 = 6 -> 2y = 4 -> y = 2
This is the speed of the current!
Subtitute y = 2 in the first equation:
x - 2 = 2
x = 4
This is the speed of the boat
Rate of the current = 2mph
Rate of the boat in still water = 4mph

A. $\frac{1}{12}*(1-\frac{1}{12})\\\frac{1}{12}*\frac{11}{12}\\\frac{11}{144}$

B. $\frac{1}{12}*(1-\frac{1}{12})+\frac{1}{12}*\frac{1}{12}\\\frac{1}{12}*\frac{11}{12}+\frac{1}{144}\\\frac{11}{144}+\frac{1}{144}\\\frac{12}{144}\\\frac{1}{12}$
