Answer:

  • 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of current be x

<u>Speed of the boat in same direction as current is</u>

  • 10 + x

<u>Speed against the current is</u>

  • 10 - x

<u>Based on the given we get the equation for time</u>

  • 6/(10 + x) = 4/(10 - x)

<u>Solving for x</u>

  • 6(10 - x) = 4(10 + x)
  • 60 - 6x = 40 + 4x
  • 6x + 4x = 60 - 40
  • 10x = 20
  • x = 2

The answer is 2 mph

If a = √3-√11 and b = 1 /a, then find a² - b²​
Serga [27]

If b=\frac1a, then by rationalizing the denominator we can rewrite

b = \dfrac1{\sqrt3-\sqrt{11}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}} = \dfrac{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}}{\left(\sqrt3\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{11}\right)^2} = -\dfrac{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}}8

Now,

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b) (a+b)

and

a - b = \sqrt3 - \sqrt{11} + \dfrac{\sqrt3 + \sqrt{11}}8 = \dfrac{9\sqrt3 - 7\sqrt{11}}8

a + b = \sqrt3 - \sqrt{11} - \dfrac{\sqrt3 + \sqrt{11}}8 = \dfrac{7\sqrt3 - 9\sqrt{11}}8

\implies a^2 - b^2 = \dfrac{\left(9\sqrt3 - 7\sqrt{11}\right) \left(7\sqrt3 - 9\sqrt{11}\right)}{64} = \boxed{\dfrac{441 - 65\sqrt{33}}{32}}
