Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let he speed of the boat on the lake is x.
<u>Considering the speed of the current it will take him:</u>
- 22.5/(x + 6) + 22.5/(x - 6) = 9
- 2.5 / (x + 6) + 2.5 / (x - 6) = 1
- 2.5(x - 6 + x + 6) = (x + 6)(x - 6)
- 2.5*2x = x² - 36
- x² - 5x - 36 = 0
- x = (5 ± √(5² + 4*36))/2 = (5 ± 13) / 2
- x = (5 + 13)/2 = 9 mph (negative root is discarded as the speed should be positive)
Answer: 88.74
Step-by-step explanation:
Intersect
Meet/Touch/Cross
Perpendicular or Transversals
Meet/Touch/Cross
Correct me if I'm wrong.
B) 5.4 feet because 32 /2 = 16 and 16 /3=5.4 or 5 & 1/5th
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll do the first one as an example.
"What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from K(-5,-4) to L(5,1) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 2?"
Let's call the point we're trying to find P. Ratio of 3 to 2 means that the distance from K to P divided by the distance from P to L is 3/2.
KP / PL = 3 / 2
Which also means the horizontal distances and vertical distances between the points have a ratio of 3:2.
KxPx / PxLx = 3 / 2
KyPy / PyLy = 3 / 2
First, let's use the x coordinates:
(x − (-5)) / (5 − x) = 3 / 2
(x + 5) / (5 − x) = 3 / 2
2 (x + 5) = 3 (5 − x)
2x + 10 = 15 − 3x
5x = 5
x = 1
And now with the y coordinates:
(y − (-4)) / (1 − y) = 3 / 2
(y + 4) / (1 − y) = 3 / 2
2 (y + 4) = 3 (1 − y)
2y + 8 = 3 − 3y
5y = -5
y = -1
So the point P is at (1,-1).
