Answer: the speed of the current is 0.6 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the current.
James is kayaking. He can row 3 mph in still water. If he can travel 6 miles downstream. Assuming he went with the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 + x)
Time = distance/speed
Time taken to travel downstream is
6/(3 + x)
In the same amount of time, he can travel 4 miles upstream. Assuming he went against the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 - x). Time taken to travel upstream is
4/(3 - x)
Since the time is the same, then
6/(3 + x) = 4/(3 - x)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
6(3 - x) = 4(3 + x)
18 - 6x = 12 + 4x
4x + 6x = 18 - 12
10x = 6
x = 6/10
x = 0.6 mph
It lies between -3 and -4.
An integer is any whole number, positive or negative.
Answer:
Rounded to the nearest tenth they are -14.5 and 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of a function are the x-intercepts or roots where the function crosses the x-axis. To find them, graph the function x^2 +2x-180 and zoom in on the x-axis.
See attached picture.
It is A) skewed left because the long tail in the box plot is on the left hand side. The mean is also on the left hand side of the peak so it is skewed left.
