Keisha's boat has a top speed of 9 miles per hour in still water. While traveling on a river at top speed, she went 10 miles ups

tream in the same amount of time she went 20 miles downstream. Find the rate of the river current.

If she went 10 miles upstream in the same time as she went 20 miles downstream, that means the downstream speed is twice the upstream speed.

The speed is still water is 9 mph.
The speed of the current is c.
Going downstream, the current adds speed, so the sped downstream is 9 + c.
The speed upstream is 9 - c.
9 + c is twice 9 - c.

9 + c = 2(9 - c)

9 + c = 18 - 2c

3c = 9

c = 3

Answer: The speed of the current is 3 mph.

Check:
9 + c = 12
9 - c = 6
By taking into the account the speed of the current, the downstream speed, 12 mph, is indeed twice the upstream sped, 6 mph.

I have a question about polynomial division it is in the picture
Cloud [144]

To answer this question, we have to do the long division process for polynomials. We can do the operation as follows:

To do this division process, we have:

1. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first element of the divisor. They are:

\frac{-4x^3}{4x^2}=-x

2. Now, we have to multiply this result by the divisor, and the result will change its sign since we have to subtract that result from the dividend as follows:

-x\cdot(4x^2_{}-4x-4)=-4x^3+4x^2+4x

And since we to subtract this result from the dividend, we end up with:

-(-4x^3+4x^2+4x)=4x^3-4x^2-4x

3. Then we have the following algebraic addition:

\frac{\begin{cases}-4x^3+24x^2-15x-15 \\ 4x^3-4x^2-4x\end{cases}}{20x^2-19x-15}

4. Again, we need to divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor as follows:

\frac{20x^2}{4x^2}=5

5. And we have to multiply 5 by the divisor, and the result will be subtracted from the dividend:

5\cdot(4x^2-4x-4)=20x^2-20x-20

Since we have to subtract this from the dividend, we have:

-(20x^2-20x-20)=-20x^2+20x+20

6. And we have to add this algebraically to the dividend we got in the previous step:

\frac{\begin{cases}20x^2-19x-15 \\ -20x^2+20x+20\end{cases}}{x+5}

And this is the remainder of the division, x + 5.

As we can see from the division process, we got as:

1. The quotient: -x + 5

q=-x+5

2. The remainder: x + 5.

R=x+5

Since we have that the dividend = divisor * quotient + remainder.

Therefore, the result for this division is:

-4x^3+24x^2-15x-15=(4x^2-4x-4)\cdot(-x+5)+(x+5)
