Let x be the speed of the motorboat and y be the speed of the current.

Then, for downstream, the speed is x + y.

Now, speed = distance/time.

Distance = 80 miles.

Time for downstream = 4 hours.

So, x + y = 80/4 = 20     (1)

Against the current, that is for upstream, the speed is x - y.

Time for upstream = 5 hours.

x - y = 80/5 = 16     (2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get,

2x = 36

x = 18

Hence, rate of the motorboat in calm water = 18 miles/hour.

32) (a)-(c) pre calculus
Harrizon [31]
Well, remember we can't take the square root of a negative

so we see that we have \sqrt{1-x^2}
so find those values that take sqrt of a negative and restrict hem from the domain
anny value greater than 1 and less than -1
so domain is from -1 to 1, including those numbers
D=[-1,1]

a. D=[-1,1] or from -1 to 1 is domain


b. for a TI-84, go to y-editor then input 4x \sqrt{1-x^2} for y1

c. for a TI-84, click 2nd then window (gets to tbset) scrol down to set Δx to 0.1, then cilick 2nd again then click graph (to select table) and scroll down till you see that value of y that is the biggest, that value is x=0.7



A. domain is from -1 to 1
B. use your brain or google the instructions for your calulator
C. at x=0.7

crystal is picking blueberries.so far,she has filled 2/3 of her basket,and the blueberries weigh 3/4pound .the equation 2/3w=3/4
vesna_86 [32]
In order to do this, we multiply both sides be the amount that would make the left side equal to 1.  This number is the reciprocal of the fraction, so we multiply both sides by 3/2.  This is equal to:

w = 9/8

So, the blueberries in crystal's basket will weigh 9/8 pounds when it is full.
