200,000
Step-by-step explanation:
I think this is the answer
Answer:
It can be determined if a quadratic function given in standard form has a minimum or maximum value from the sign of the coefficient "a" of the function. A positive value of "a" indicates the presence of a minimum point while a negative value of "a" indicates the presence of a maximum point
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that describes a parabola is a quadratic function
The standard form of a quadratic function is given as follows;
f(x) = a·(x - h)² + k, where "a" ≠ 0
When the value of part of the function a·x² after expansion is responsible for the curved shape of the function and the sign of the constant "a", determines weather the the curve opens up or is "u-shaped" or opens down or is "n-shaped"
When "a" is negative, the parabola downwards, thereby having a n-shape and therefore it has a maximum point (maximum value of the y-coordinate) at the top of the curve
When "a" is positive, the parabola opens upwards having a "u-shape" and therefore, has a minimum point (minimum value of the y-coordinate) at the top of the curve.
Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56
0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11
Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour. Answer is 3 miles per hour
You divide 12/29 and that gives you 0.4137 which equals 41 percent
