\bf \begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&d&r-3&\frac{2}{3}
\\\\
downstream&d&r+3&1
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\qquad 
\begin{cases}
d=(r-3)\frac{2}{3}
\\\\
d=(r+3)1
\end{cases}\qquad d=d\qquad thus
\\\\\\
(r-3)\cfrac{2}{3}=(r+3)1

notice, the distance is the same, upstream or downstream, thus is "d" for both

solve for "r"

Consider the parametric equations
MArishka [77]

Answer:(a)x^2+2y^2=2

(b)In the attached diagram

Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: Multiply both equations by t

xt=t(cost -sint)\\ty\sqrt{2} =t(cost +sint)

Step 1:  Multiply both equations by t

xt=t(cost -sint)\\ty\sqrt{2} =t(cost +sint)

Step 2:We square both equations

(xt)^2=t^2(cost -sint)^2\\(ty)^2(\sqrt{2})^2 =t^2(cost +sint)^2

Step 3: Adding the two equations

(xt)^2+(ty)^2(\sqrt{2})^2=t^2(cost -sint)^2+t^2(cost +sint)^2\\t^2(x^2+2y^2)=t^2((cost -sint)^2+(cost +sint)^2)\\x^2+2y^2=(cost -sint)^2+(cost +sint)^2\\(cost -sint)^2+(cost +sint)^2=2\\x^2+2y^2=2 hopes this helps
