Answer:

14.3 km/h   to 3 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Let time travelling upstream be t1 hours and downstream = t2 hours.

t1 + t2 = 1.75..........................(1)

Let v  be the speed of the boat in still water.

12 / t1 = v - 3.........................(2)

12 /  t2 = v + 3........................(3)

From (1) and (3) , substituting for t2:-

12 / (1.75 - t1) = v + 3 ..................(4)

Subtract:-   (2) - (4):-

12 / t1 - 12 / (1.75 - t1) = -6

12(1 .75 - t1) - 12t1 = -6t1(1.75 -  t1)

21 - 12t1 - 12t1 = -10.5t1 + 6t^2

6t1^2 + 13.5t1 - 21 = 0

Solving this gives t1 = 1.058 hours

Therefore the speed in still water (v)  = 12/1.058 + 3 = 14.3 to 3 sig figs

For what integer value of x is 3x+5>11 and x-3 <1?
Andre45 [30]
3x + 5 > 11
3x + (5 - 5) > 11 - 5 
3x > 6
3x / 3 > 6 / 3
x > 2

x - 3 < 1
x (-3 + 3) < 1 + 3
x < 4

When subtracting / adding values to both sides, the inequality does not change.

When multiplying / dividing by a positive value, the inequality also doesn't change, but when multiplying , dividing with a negative value, the inequality must be flipped.

Which function represents a vertical stretch of an exponential function?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

A. f(x)=3(\frac{1}{2})^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are:

A. f(x)=3(\frac{1}{2})^x\\\\B. f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(3)^x\\\\C. f(x)=(3)^{2x}\\\\ D. f(x)=3^{(\frac{1}{2}x)}

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, the Exponential parent functions have the form shown below:

f(x) = a^x

Where "a" is the base.

There are several transformations for a function f(x), some of those transformations are shown below:

1. If  bf(x) and  b>1, then the function is stretched vertically by a factor of "b".

2. If   bf(x)  and 0, then the function is  compressed vertically by a factor of "b"

Therefore, based on the information given above, you can identify that the function that represents a vertical stretch of an Exponential function, is the one given in the Option A. This is:

f(x)=3(\frac{1}{2})^x

Where the factor is:

b=3

And 3>1
