Answer:

7.09 mph

30.87 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\theta=77^{\circ} 48'=77+\frac{48}{60}=77.8^{\circ}

1 degree=60 minute

The speed of boat in still water=v=31.7mph

We have to find the speed of the current and the actual speed of the motorboat.

\theta'=90-77.8=`2.92^{\circ}

Speed of the current=vsin\theta'

Speed of the current=31.7sin12.92=7.09 mph

Actual speed of the motorboat=vcos\theta'=31.7cos12.92=30.87mph

Step-by-step explanation:

the rate of change is officially

(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)

but for a line function (as we have here) this is totally easy : it is the slope of the line.

and that means it is the factor of x.

in our case this is -3/2.

because the slope of a line is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change". and that is exactly corresponding to the general rate of change definition above.

On Monday a Farmer sold 25196 pounds of potatoes on tuesday he sold 18023pounds on Wednesday he sold some more potatoes in all h
arlik [135]

Answer:

<em>estimated sales on Wednesday is 19000 pounds.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday, he sold 25196 pounds. Estimated to the nearest thousand that is 25000 pounds.

On Tuesday, he sold 18023 pounds. Estimated to the nearest thousand, that is 18000 pounds

Wednesday's sales is unknown. We designate as x

All in all he sold 62409. Estimated to the nearest thousand, that is 62000

The sales on Monday, plus sales on  Tuesday, plus sales on Wednesday, must all sum up to the total sales.

25000 + 18000 + x = 62000

43000 + x = 62000

x = 62000 - 43000 = 19000

therefore <em>estimated sales on Wednesday is 19000 pounds.</em>
