Answer:

5 kmph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Greg swam 4 kilometers against the current.

            Greg swam 16 kilometers with the current.

            Rate of the current was 3kmph.

Lets assume the speed of greg swimming with no current be "x".

∴ Speed of swimming against current= (x-3)\ kmph

   Speed of swimming with current= (x+3)\ kmph

As given, it took same amount of time to swim both with current and against current.

∴ Forming an equation to find the value of x, which is speed of greg swimming with no current.

We know, Time= \frac{Distance}{Speed}

⇒ \frac{4}{(x-3)} = \frac{16}{(x+3)}

Multiplying both side by (x+3) and (x-3)

⇒4\times (x+3)= 16\times (x-3)

Using distributive property of multiplication.

⇒ 4x+12= 16x-48

Subtracting both side by 4x and adding by 48.

⇒60= 12x

Dividing both side by 12

⇒x= \frac{60}{12} = 5\ kmph

Hence, Greg can swim at the rate of 5kmph with no current.

A set of average city temperatures in May are normally distributed with a mean of 20.66 ^\circ \text{C}20.66
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

0.9962

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score shows the number of standard deviations by which the raw score is above or below the mean. If the raw score is above the mean then the z score is positive but if the raw score is less than the mean then the raw score is negative. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\ \\\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation, x=raw\ score

μ = 20.66°C, σ = 2°C

For x < Singapore temperature, i.e. x < 26

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{26-20.66}{2}=2.67

From the normal distribution table P(x < 26) = P(z < 2.67) = 0.9962

Consider the function f(x) = x3 − 4x2 + 2. Calculate the limit of the difference quotient at x0 = 3 for f(x).
m_a_m_a [10]
<h2>Part 1.</h2>

Answer: \boxed{f'(x)=3x^2-8x}

The limit of the difference quotient is simply the derivative, so we can express this as follows:

f'(x)=\underset{\Delta x\rightarrow0}{lim}\frac{\triangle y}{\Delta x}=\frac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}

So our function is:

f(x)=x^3-4x^2+2

Taking the derivative, we have:

f'(x)=3x^2-8x

So the correct option is:

\boxed{f'(x)=3x^2-8x}

<h2>Part 2.</h2>

Answer: \boxed{y=3x-16}

The equation of the line that passes through the same point can be found as:

y-y_{0}=m(x-x_{0})

Where x_{0}=3, so we need to find y_{0}. Plug in that x-value in the function we have:

y_{0}=f(3)=(3)^3-4(3)^2+2 \\ \\ y_{0}=-7 \\ \\ \\ So \ the \ point \ is: \\ \\ P(x_{0},y_{0})=(3,-7)

And the slope is:

m=f'(3)=3(3)^2-8(3) \\ \\ m=3

Then, the equation of the line is:

y-(-7)=3(x-3) \\ \\ \therefore y+7=3x-9 \\ \\ \boxed{y=3x-16}

<h2 /><h2>Part 3.</h2>

Answer: Shown below

As you can see below, the graph of the function of f is continuous. This is so because we have plotted a polynomial function whose domain is the set of all real numbers. So the function is defined at the point P(3,-7), so the derivative exists at this point, hence we can calculate a tangent line there. In conclusion, we get the graph shown below. The blue line is the tangent line while the red curve is the graph of f

Oksanka [162]

9668

Explanation:

18 ones, 18x1=18

15 hundreds, 15x100 =1500

15 tens, 15x10=150

8 thousands,8x1000=8000

8x1000=800018+1500+150+8000=9668

Cedric bought his truck new for $20,000. It’s value decreases 15.4% each year. In approximately how many years will the value of
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

3.24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for the truck to become half of the value it has to decrease by %50 if it decreases by %15.4 the real question is 50/15.4=3.24 years because how many years will it take for %15.4 to pile up and eventually become %50
