Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = 3x-1 +x²-6
(f+g)(x) = x² +3x -5 .....( answer : B )
Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.
If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:
(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph
However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:
(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)
Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.
Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
Answer:
there isn't an answer, you can't get the square root of negative numbers. the sqaure root of a negative number does not exist in the set of Real Numbers
