So... hmm bear in mind, when the boat goes upstream, it goes against the stream, so, if the boat has speed rate of say "b", and the stream has a rate of "r", then the speed going up is b - r, the boat's rate minus the streams, because the stream is subtracting speed as it goes up

going downstream is a bit different, the stream speed is "added" to boat's
so the boat is really going faster, is going b + r

notice, the distance is the same, upstream as well as downstream
thus   \bf \begin{cases}
b=\textit{rate of the boat}\\
r=\textit{rate of the river}
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\

\begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&----&----&----\\
upstream&48&b-r&4\\
downstream&48&b+4&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
48=(b-r)(4)\to 48=4b-4r\\\\
\frac{48-4b}{-4}=r\\
--------------\\
48=(b+r)(3)\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\\\\
48=\left[ b+\left(\boxed{\frac{48-4b}{-4}}\right) \right] (3)
\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see what the stream's rate is

what about the boat's? well, just plug the value for "r" on either equation and solve for "b"

What is the initial value of the function:<br> f(x)=3/2(2)^x
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

the initial value -- f(0) -- results in a value of 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(0) = \frac{3}{2} · 2^{x}     (any value raised to the power of zero equals one)

f(0) = \frac{3}{2} · 1

f(0) = 3/2 or 1.5

A cube has a volume of 800 cubic units. the length of the edge of this cube is between which two numbers?
8090 [49]
I set this up as an inequality, 800 \leq  s^{3}.  If you take the cubed root of 800, you get the lower bound of the side length, which is 9.2.  Then I just worked my way up until I hit the first number that put me over a volume of 800.  That number is 9.29, because 9.28 cubed is 799.1 (not high enough) and 9.29 cubed is 801.8.  Therefore, the bounds of the sides exist within a conjunction: 9.2\ \textless \ s\ \textless \ 9.29.  That's the best I could come up with to help on that one.  Wasn't sure if there was another method you were taught at school. I just used common sense more than any rule.

william is thinking of two numbers both numbers are square numbers greater than 1 the sum of numbers is 100 write down two numbe
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At first,

Let start writing the squares of number 0 to 10,

0²=0

1²=1

2²=4

3²=9

4²=16

5²=25

6²=36

7²=49

8²=64

9²=81

10²=100

Now,

According to your question,

  1. The two numbers should be square numbers
  2. They should be greater than 1.
  3. Their sum should be 100.

Hence, your given conditions matches with the numbers 64 and 36.

Therefore, the numbers are 64 and 36.

  • 64 and 36 are greater than 1.
  • 64 is a square of 8 and 36 is the square of 6.
  • 64+36=100
