Divide each mile amount by the speed of the current (48/4=12 and 72/4=18) add the two numbers (12+18=30)  The speed of the boat is 30mph

Please help me :)) algebra 2! what are the real roots?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

3(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}+16=64

First, let's subtract 16 from both sides:

3(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}=48

Now, let's divide both sides by 3:

(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}=16

Remember that with fractional exponents, we can move the denominator into the root position. Therefore:

(\sqrt[3]{x-4})^4=16

Let's take the fourth root of both sides. Since we're taking an even root, make sure to have the plus-minus symbol!

\sqrt[3]{x-4} =\pm 2

Cube both sides. Since we're cubing, the plus-minus stays.

x-4=\pm 8

Add 4 to both sides.

x=\pm 8+4

Calculator:

x=8+4\text{ or } x=-8+4\\x=12\text{ or } x=-4

So, our answer is A.

And we're done!

Help pleasee<br> Qn is attached belowww <br> PLEASE HELPP
Simora [160]

Answer:

QR = 65.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Apply Law of Cosines to find QR:

p² = q² + r² - 2qr × Cos P

p = QR = ?

q = PR = 150 m

r = PQ = 120 m

P = 25°

Plug in the values

p² = 150² + 120² - (2)(150)(120) × Cos(25°)

p² = 22,500 + 14,400 - 36,000 × 0.9063

p² = 36,900 - 32,626.8

p² = 4,273.2

p = √4,273.2

p ≈ 65.4 m (nearest tenth)

QR = 65.4 m

What is the other solution??
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The other solution is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the solution into groups: (x^2+2x)+(-12x-24)

Factor out the x^2 from the first group to get x(x+2)

Factor out the -12 out of the second group to get -12(x-12)

Here we get (x-12)(x+2)

You can see solutions are -2 and 12.
