Answer:

Correct answer: V₁ boat = 16 km/h and V₂ current = 4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take speed (velocity) of the boat as V₁ and speed of the current V₂

Let us form equations:

Traveling down the current  V₁ + V₂ = 60/3 = 20 km/h

Traveling against the current  V₁ - V₂ = 60/5 = 12 km/h

V₁ - V₂ = 12

V₁ + V₂ = 20

If we add up the left and right sides of the equations we get:

2 V₁ = 32  =>    V₁ = 32/2 = 16 km/h

from the second equation we get:

V₂ = 20 - V₁ = 20 - 16 = 4 km/h

V₂ = 4 km/h

Which is 2logx - 6 log(x-9) written as a single logarithm.
Anton [14]

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must keep on mind the properties of logarithms:

log(b)-log(a)=log(\frac{b}{a})\\\\log(b)+log(a)=log(ba)\\\\a*log(b)=log(b)^a

Therefore, knowing the properties, you can write the expression gven in the problem as shown below:

2logx-6log(x-9)\\logx^2-log(x-9)^6\\\\log\frac{x^2}{(x-9)^6}
