A small boat traveled 29.5 miles upstream in 2 hours. The same boat took 3 hours to travel 59.25 miles downstream. If the speed

and direction of the water was the same in both directions, find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

Answer:

  • boat speed: 17.25 mph
  • current: 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Upstream, the speed of the current (c) subtracts from the speed of the boat (b) to give the net speed. Downstream, the speed of the current adds. We can make use of the relation ...

  speed = distance/time

  b-c = 29.5/2 = 14.75 . . . . . miles/hour

  b+c = 59.25/3 = 19.75 . . . .miles/hour

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  (b+c) -(b-c) = 19.75 -14.75

  2c = 5

  c = 2.5

Then either equation can be used to find b:

  b = 14.75 +c = 17.25

The speed of the boat in still water is 17.25 miles per hour; the speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour.

F(x)= √x-5. find f-2
rodikova [14]

For this case we have:

Be a function of the form y = f (x)

Where:

f (x) = \sqrt {x-5}

If we want to find f (-2), we substitute x = -2, then:

f (-2) = \sqrt {-2-5}\\f (-2) = \sqrt {-7}

Since we have a negative root, the result will be given by complex numbers. By definition:

\sqrt {-1} = i

So:

f (-2) = \sqrt {7} i

Answer:

f (-2) = \sqrt {7} i

Find the tangent of ∠I.
Nady [450]

Answer:

tanI = \frac{\sqrt{70} }{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to calculate GH using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

GH² + GI² = HI²

GH² + 5² = (\sqrt{95} )²

GH² + 25 = 95 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

GH² = 70 ( take square root of both sides )

GH = \sqrt{70}

Then

tanI = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{GH}{GI} = \frac{\sqrt{70} }{5}
