Answer:

8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is 1/that number.

So, the reciprocal of -5/8 is 1/\frac{-5}{8}= 1 times 8/-5

8/-5 is the reciprocal of -5/8.

However, we are looking for the negative reciprocal.

So, multiply the number by negative 1.

\frac{8}{-5} (\frac{-1}{1}) = \frac{-8}{-5} = \frac{8}{5}

The figure shown is a kite. What is the x-coordinate of point P?
tresset_1 [31]

The answer to the above question can be determined as -

Let the point on the left side of P be Q, thus coordinates of Q are (a,1) and point on the right side of P be R, thus coordinates of R will be, (a+4, 1).

Now, it given that, between x coordinates of Q and R is 4, and it can be seen that they are getting divided into half.

So, the x coordinate of P will be - a + \frac{4}{2} i.e. a + 2

<u>Thus, the x coordinate of P will be a +2.</u>

A wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

5 or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.

then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:

Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x

15/x-6/x-2=1

multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get

(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x

11x-30=x^2

x^2-11x+30=0

(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.

so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h
