A boat travels 12 Mph in still water. It can travel 18 miles upstream in the same time that it can travel 24 miles downstream. W
1 answer:
Answer:
The current of the water is 1.714 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the boat in t hours can travel 18 miles upstream, and 24 miles downstream.
Therefore, if the speed of the boat in still water is 12 mph and that of water is x mph , then we can write
........ (1) and
............ (2)
Now, adding those two equations (1) and (2) we get,
⇒ t = 1.75 hours.
Now, from equation (1) we get
⇒ x = 1.714 mph
Therefore, the current of the water is 1.714 mph. (Answer)

Answer:
x³ sin(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Tabular method is a special form of integration by parts. It works by taking derivatives of u and integrals of dv. You multiply diagonally, then sum the results, alternating the signs.
The important thing to note is that this will produce an antiderivative only if the derivatives of u eventually become 0. So the correct choice is x³ sin(x), because the derivatives of x³ eventually becomes 0:
d/dx (x³) = 3x²
d/dx (3x²) = 6x
d/dx (6x) = 6
d/dx (6) = 0
