Answer:

The percent error is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

PLEASE HELP!!!! A boat can travel at an average speed of 10 miles per hour in still water. Traveling with the current, it can tr

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of current be x

<u>Speed of the boat in same direction as current is</u>

10 + x

<u>Speed against the current is</u>

10 - x

<u>Based on the given we get the equation for time</u>

6/(10 + x) = 4/(10 - x)

<u>Solving for x</u>

6(10 - x) = 4(10 + x)
60 - 6x = 40 + 4x
6x + 4x = 60 - 40
10x = 20
x = 2

The answer is 2 mph

y = k / x²

Plug in values.

9 = k / (-3)²

9 = k / 9

Solve for k by multiplying both sides by 9.

k = 81
