Answer:

The speed is still water is v = \frac{d}{h} - c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimentionally speaking, speed is distance divided by time. Since, the person is travelling downstream, absolute speed is equal to the sum of current speed and speed of the person regarding current. Both components are constant. That is:

c + v = \frac{d}{h}

Where:

c - Current speed, measured in miles per hour.

v - Speed of the person regarding current, measured in miles per hour.

d - Distance travelled downstream, measured in miles.

h - Time spent on travelling, measured in hours.

Speed in still water occurs when current speed is zero. Then, such variable is obtained after subtracting current speed on both sides of the expression. Hence:

v = \frac{d}{h} - c

The speed is still water is v = \frac{d}{h} - c.

An anthropologist studies a woman's femur that was uncovered in Madagascar. To estimate the woman's height, he uses the equation
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The inequality f>40 represents the length of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

h=60+2.5f

Where, h is woman's height in centimeters and f is length of the femur in centimeters.

If woman's height is greater than 160cm, then

h>160

60+2.5f>160

Substract 60 from both sides.

2.5f>100

Divide both sides by 2.5.

f>40

Therefore the inequality  f>40 represents the lengths of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.

Which graph represents the parent function of y=x^2 −5?
hjlf
From the function given:
y=x^2-5
this can be written as:
y=x^2+0x-5
writing in vertex form we get:
y=(x-h)^2+k
where: (h,k) is the vertex
y=(x-0)^2-5
thus the vertex is at (0,-5)
the parent function is y=x^2, thus the graph of the parent function is First graph
