A motorboat heads upstream a distance of 24 miles on a river whose current is running at 3 miles per hour. The trip up and back

takes 6 hours. Assuming that the motorboat maintained a constant speed relative to the water, what was its speed?

9mph is the boat's actual speed.
12mph with the stream and 6mph against the stream.
12mph takes 2 hours to get there and 6mph takes 4 to get back = 6hours.

To get speed you do Distance/Time.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a) f(2)= 0.448 (2)^{1.21}= 1.036 grams

b) 0.5 = 0.448 x^{1.21}

Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

\frac{0.5}{0.448} = x^{1.21}

We can appy the exponent \frac{1}{1.21} in both sides of the equation and we got:

(\frac{0.5}{0.448})^{\frac{1}{1.21}} = x= 1.095grams

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following function:

f(x) = 0.448 x^{1.21}

The notation is: x is the weight of the crab in​ grams, and the output​ f(x) is the weight of the claws in grams.

Part a

For this case we just need to replace x = 2 gram in the function and we got:

f(2)= 0.448 (2)^{1.21}= 1.036 grams

Part b

For this case we know tha value for f(x) =0.5 and we want to find the value of x who satisfy this condition:

0.5 = 0.448 x^{1.21}

Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

\frac{0.5}{0.448} = x^{1.21}

We can appy the exponent \frac{1}{1.21} in both sides of the equation and we got:

(\frac{0.5}{0.448})^{\frac{1}{1.21}} = x= 1.095grams

What is the equation of the parabola with a directrix at y = 4 and focus (0, -4).
Svet_ta [14]
Given that the directrix is at y = 4 and the focus is at (0, -4), then the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0).
p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix = 4 and since the focus is below the directrix, p is negative, i.e. p = -4
Equation of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)
Therefore, the required equation is (x - 0)^2 = 4(-4)(y - 0)
x^2 = -16y
y = -1/16 x^2

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!! WILL MARK CORRECT ANSWER BRAINLIEST!!!!
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 1.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture we see:

The radius is 5 units. Each unit is .25 so the radius is 1.25.

The centre or middle M= ( -1, 1 )

Circle with centre M and radius r :

(x - xM)² + (y - yM)² = r²

xM = -1

yM = 1

r = 1.25

(x - (-1))² + (y - 1)² = (1.25)²

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 1.5625
