If you're completing the square the answer is in the image.

expression

x^2 + 5x - 5=ax^2+bx+c

a=1, b=5, c=-5, and you can solve it that way.

You decide to enter in a rowing competition. To train, you go to the boat house and begin rolling down stream. You row for the s

fredd [130]

Answer:

Time spent rowing down stream $=100\ seconds$

Speed of boat in still water $=14\ ms^{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat in still water be $= x\ ms^{-1}$

Speed of current $= 10\ ms^{-1}$

Speed of boat down stream = $\textrm{Speed of boat in still water +Speed of current}= (x+10)\ ms^{-1}$

Distance rowed down stream = 2400 m

Time spent rowing down stream = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2400}{x+10}\ s$ = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2400}{x+10}\ s$

Speed of boat up stream = $\textrm{Speed of boat in still water -Speed of current}= (x-10)\ ms^{-1}$

Distance rowed up stream = $\frac{1}{6} \textrm{ of distance rowed downstream}=\frac{1}{6}\times 2400 = 400\ m$

Time spent rowing up stream = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{400}{x-10}\ s$

We know that,

$\textrm{Time spent rowing down stream =Time spent rowing up stream}$

So,

$\frac{2400}{x+10}=\frac{400}{x-10}$

Cross multiplying

$2400(x-10)=400(x+10)$

Dividing both sides by $400$

$\frac{2400(x-10)}{400}=\frac{400(x+10)}{400}$

$6(x-10)=x+10$

$6x-60=x+10$

Adding 60 to both sides.

$6x-60+60=x+10+60$

$6x=x+70$

Subtracting both sides by $x$

$6x-x=x+70-x$

$5x=70$

Dividing both sides by 5.

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{70}{5}$

∴ $x=14$

Speed of boat in still water $=14\ ms^-1$

Time spent rowing down stream = $\frac{2400}{14+10}=\frac{2400}{24}=100\ s$

A triangle has sides with lengths of 43 millimeters, 52 millimeters, and 65 millimeters. Is it a right triangle

Mrrafil [7]

Use pythagora's theorem to test if it is a right triangle

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
65^2 = 52^2 + 43^2
4225 = 2704 + 1849
4225 =/= 4553
therefore it is not a right triangle as it does not comply to pythagora's theorem
