<span>Traveled Downstream a distance of 33 Mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 12 mph and the total trip took 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Let S = boat speed in still water then (s + 12) = downstream speed (s -12) = upstream speed
Given Time = 3 hours 40 minutes = 220 minutes = (220/60) h = (11/3) h Time = Distance/Speed
33/(s +12) + 33/(s-12) = 11/3 3{33(s-12) + 33(s +12)} = 11(s+12) (s -12) 99(s -12 + s + 12) = 11(</span> s^{2} + 12 s -12 s -144) 99(2 s) = 11(s^{2} -144) 198 s/11 = (s^{2} -144) 18 s = (s^{2} -144) (s^{2} - 18 s - 144) = 0 s^{2} - 24 s + 6 s -144 =0 s(s- 24) + 6(s -24) =0 (s -24) (s + 6) = 0 s -24 = 0, s + 6 =0 s = 24, s = -6 Answer) s = 24 mph is the average speed of the boat relative to the water.
Good question, I ask myself the same thibg everyday
Let's do this by Briot-Ruffini
First: Find the monomial root
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Second: Allign this root with all the other coeficients from equation
Equation = -3x³ - 2x² - x - 2
Coeficients = -3, -2, -1, -2
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
Copy the first coeficient
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3
Multiply him by the root and sum with the next coeficient
2.(-3) = -6
-6 + (-2) = -8
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3 -8
Do the same
2.(-8) = -16
-16 + (-1) = -17
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3 -8 -17
The same,
2.(-17) = -34
-34 + (-2) = -36
2 | -3 -2 -1 -2
-3 -8 -17 -36
Now you just need to put the "x" after all these numbers with one exponent less, see
2 | -3x³ - 2x² - 1x - 2
-3x² - 8x - 17 -36
You may be asking what exponent -36 should be, and I say:
None or the monomial. He's like the rest of this division, so you can say:
(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 with rest -36 or you can say:
(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 - 36/(x - 2)
Just divide the rest by the monomial.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Samantha needs 4/5 yard of fabric to make costumes for the school play.
Let x represent the number of yards of fabric that she has
Let y represent the total number of costumes that she can make from x yards of fabric.
Since one costume require 4/5 yards of fabric, y costumes will require
x ÷ 4/5 = x×5/4 = 5x/4
The equation will be
y = 5x/4
to find how many costumes she can make with 8 yards of fabric, it becomes
y = (5×8)/4
y = 40/4 = 10
Answer: 
This is the same as saying 
====================================================
Work Shown:
where 
As the steps show above, the idea is to factor the radicand into smaller pieces where one of those pieces is the largest perfect square possible. In this case, 36 is the largest factor of 180 that's a perfect square. Then I used the rule 
to break up the root.
The parenthesis used at the very end is to help separate the 
from the 
term. The "i" is not under the square root.
