A motorboat takes

Mathematics

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

let's say the boat's rate is "b" in still water, and the current's rate is "c"

as the boat goes upstream, is not really going "b" fast, the water is not still anyway, is going much slower, is going " b - c ", because the current's rate is eroding speed because is going against the current.

as the boat goes downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going " b + c " fast, because is going downstream and thus with the current and the current is adding speed to it.  notice, it takes longer going up, 5hrs, then coming down, 3hrs, same 150 on each way.

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&150&b-r&5\\
downstream&150&b+r&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
150=(b-r)5\\
\qquad \frac{150}{5}=b-r\\
\qquad 30=b-r\\
\qquad 30+r=\boxed{b}\\
150=(b+r)3\\
\qquad \frac{150}{3}=b+r\\
\qquad 50=b+r\\
\qquad 50=\boxed{30+r}+r
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

what's the boat's rate? well, 30+r = b

Nate spent $28 on 2 dvds.at this rate how much would 5 dvds cost him
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
2=28 divide both get 14 . So each cd is 14$. So now 28+28=56 (4 cd's) plus 14 (1 more cd) =5 so 5 is 70.

Find x. A. 11√6/2 B. 22 C. 33 D. 11√3/2
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio on the triangle on the right and the exact value

tan60° = \sqrt{3} , then letting the altitude be h

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{11\sqrt{6} }{h}  = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by h )

11\sqrt{6} = h × \sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

11\sqrt{2} = h

using the sine ratio in the triangle on the left and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} , then

sin45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{h}{x} = \frac{11\sqrt{2} }{x} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

\sqrt{2} × x = 22\sqrt{2} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{2} )

x = 22
