The excursion boat on the river takes 2½ hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles upstream and to return. If the rate at which

the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, what is the rate of the current? Which of the following equations can be used to solve for c, the rate of the current?
1. (4c)(2.5) + (6c)(2.5) = 24
2.(4c)(12) + (6c)(12) = 2.5
3.[12/(4c)] + [12/(6c)] = 2.5

Answer:

\dfrac{12}{4c}+\dfrac{12}{6c}=\dfrac{5}{2} - choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c miles per hour be the rate of the river current. If the rate at which the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, then the rate of the boat is 5c miles per hour.

1. Upstream the rate of the boat is 5c-c=4c miles per hour. To overcome 12 miles upstream it is needed

\dfrac{12}{4c}=\dfrac{3}{c}\ hours.

2. Downstream the rate of the boat is 5c+c=6c miles per hour. To overcome 12 miles downstream it is needed

\dfrac{12}{6c}=\dfrac{2}{c}\ hours.

2. The total time is

\dfrac{3}{c}+\dfrac{2}{c}=\dfrac{5}{c}\ hours.

If the excursion boat on the river takes 2½ hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles upstream and to return, then

\dfrac{5}{c}=2\dfrac{1}{2}.

Solve this equation:

\dfrac{5}{c}=\dfrac{5}{2},\\ \\c=2\ mi/h.

This equation was obtained as

\dfrac{12}{4c}+\dfrac{12}{6c}=\dfrac{5}{2}.

Answer:

3.[12/(4c)] + [12/(6c)] = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

c = current rate

And

5c = boat rate in the still water

so,

5c - c = 4c is the effective upstream speed

And

5c + c = 6c is the effective downstream speed

We write an equation for time:

time = distance/rate

up time + down time = 2.5 hrs

The equation we use to solve this is:

[12/(4c)] + [12/(6c)]= 2.5 .

now

multiply whole equation(left hand side and right hand side both) by 12c:

[12/(4c)] + [12/(6c)]*12c= 12c*(2.5)

and you will get following equation:

3(12) + 2(12) = 30c

36 + 24 = 30c

60 = 30c

c = 60/30

the rate of of the current is:

c = 2

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below: graph of function f of x open upward and has its vertex at negative 7, 0. Graph of
dexar [7]

The equation of the function is g(x)=(x+7)² -2 , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>

A function is a mathematical statement that defines relation between two variables.

The f(x) = (x+7)²

The equation for g(x) is ?

graph of function f of x open upward and has its vertex at (-7,0).

Graph of function g of x opens upward and has its vertex at (-7,2).

g(x) is formed by the translation of the function f(x) such that it's vertex is (-7,-2)

Therefore the equation of the function is

g(x)=(x+7)² -2

Therefore , the translation is a shift of the function f(x) 2 units down

Option  D is the correct answer.

4.) Trina earns $28.50 tutoring for 3 hours. How much would Trina earn tutoring for 2 hours?​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the unit rate. (How much she makes in 1 hour.)

28.50/3 is 9.5

Now it asks for how much she will make in 2 hours.

9.5 x 2 is

19.

Kelly used the vertical line test to determine whether or not the curve that she
Keith_Richards [23]
<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3>

All vertical lines intersected the curve at exactly 1 point.

===========================================================

Explanation:

If there is a case when a single vertical line crosses 2 or more points on the  curve, then it will not be a function. In this situation, it is said that the curve fails the vertical line test.

Passing the vertical line test means that every vertical line passes through exactly one point on the curve. Each x input leads to exactly one output. If such a situation happens, then we have a function.

Since Kelly concluded that the curve is a function, this means the curve passed the vertical line test, and it points us to choice D as the answer.
