Answer:

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of boat in still water=x km/hr

Speed of stream=y km/hr

Speed of upstream=x-y km/hr

Speed of downstream=x+y km/hr

Let 1/(x-y)=a and 1/(x+y)=b

Time to go 25km up and 44 down=9

25a+44b=9----->(1)

Time to go 15km up and 22km down=5

15a+22b=5------>(2)

(2) × 2=> 30a+44b=10------>(3)

(3)-(1)=>5a=1

a=1/5

1/(x-y)=1/5

x-y=5---->(4)

Putting a=1/5 in (1),

5+44b=9

44b=4

b=1/11

1/(x+y)=1/11

x+y=11---->(5)

(4)+(5)=>2x=16

x=8

y=3

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

What is the slope of the line on the graph?
Trava [24]
Remember that the slope of a line never changes, so you can choose whatever 2 points you want and you will always get the same slope. Calculate the rise and run (You can draw it on the graph if it helps). The slope is 2/4, which , of course, you can simplify to ½.

Write a recursive rule and explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence 19,9,-1,-11, ...
serg [7]
★ Arithmetic Progression [ Explicit and Recursive notation ] ★

Arithmetic Sequence - 19 , 9 , -1 ...

Recursive Notation -

First term = 19
Common difference = -10

In subscript notation - [ a₁ = 19 , aₙ = aₙ-₁ -10 ]
In functional notation - f(n) = f (n -1) -10

Explicit Notation - f ( n ) = f ( 1 ) + d ( n - 1 )

= 19 - 10 ( n -1 )
= 29 - 10n

It's functional and subscript notations resides the same
