Answer:

It's supposed to be 4-7/1-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 (subscript). So you would take the y value from (8,7) which is 7, and subtract by the y value from (1,4), which is 4. You do the same for the x values and you get 7-4/8-1, which is 3/7.

Boating: A paddleboat moves at a rate of 12 mph in still water. If the rover’s current moves at a rate of 3 mph, how long will i
Lostsunrise [7]

The time taken by the boat to travel 32 miles downstream is 2.1 hours and for upstream 3.56 hours.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

  • A paddleboat moves at a rate of 12 mph in still water. If the rover’s current moves at a rate of 3 mph.
  • how long will it take the boat to travel 36 miles downstream and 36 miles upstream?

The time taken by the boat upstream will be calculated as:-

( B + W ) Td = D

( 12 + 3 ) Td = 32

( 15 ) Td = 32

Td = 32 / 15 = 2.1 hours

The time taken by the boat downstream will be calculated as:-

( B - W ) Tu = D

( 12 - 3 ) Tu = 32

9 Tu = 32

Tu = 32 / 9 = 3.56 hours.

Therefore the time taken by the boat to travel 32 miles downstream is 2.1 hours and for upstream 3.56 hours.

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have something that says it is the f(x) or just f(something) then that is just telling you what the x equals. In this case, x=4 so you plug that into the equation.

This gives you f(4)=4(4)+7. From here, you will use the order of operations to solve.

f(4)=4*4+7

f(4)=16+7

f(4)=23

Answer:

  {-1, 1/2, 2/3, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

I find a graphing calculator to be a most useful tool for problems like this. (See attached.)

_____

First of all, observe that the constant is -2, so 0 is not a zero.

It is often useful to look at the sum of coefficients. Here, that is 0, indicating 1 is a zero.

You can divide that out, or simply continue by looking at the sum of coefficients with odd-degree terms negated. Then you have 6 +7 -4 -7 -2 = 0, indicating -1 is also a zero.

__

At this point, it can be useful to divide out the factors you know. The synthetic division tableaus attached show that work. First is division by (x+1), then by (x -1).

The result of doing that is the quadratic ...

  6x^2 -7x +2 = 0

This can be factored ...

  (6x^2 -3x) -(4x -2) = 0 . . . . . . rewrite -7x and group term pairs

  3x(2x -1) -2(2x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor each pair

  (3x -2)(2x -1) = 0 . . . . . . the factorization of the remaining quadratic

The zeros of this are the values of x that make the factors zero: 2/3 and 1/2.

The zeros of the given function f(x) are x ∈ {-1, 1/2, 2/3, 1}.
