Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Boat speed = 20 mph

speed of current = x mph

Distance against current = 2 miles

Distance with current = 3 miles

speed against current will be ; 20 - x

speed with current will be ; 20 + x

Time =distance / speed against time against = time with current

Solving Mathematically ;

2/(20-x )=3/(20 +x)

2(20+x )= 3( 20-x )

40+2x = 60-3x

3x +2x=20

5x=20

x = 20 / 5

x = 4 mph

Speed of current = 4 mph

What is twice 2 to the 30 power ? Write using exponents. Explain your reasoning
Rus_ich [418]

2 times 2^30 simple means that = (2^1) x (2^30)

<span>In multiplying numbers of the same base (in this case 2), the exponents are just added, therefore giving us:

</span>

(2^1) x (2^30) = (2^31)

Answer:

The point ( 0,-1) is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

y<= (x+1) (x+5)

y>= (x-1)^2 -6


See attached graph.


To prove algebraically, put the point (0,-1) into both equations and see if it is true for both of them.

y<= (x+1) (x+5)

-1 <= (0+1) (0+5)

-1<= 1*5

-1 <=5

True

y>= (x-1)^2 -6

-1 >= (-1)^2 -6

-1 >= 1-6

-1 >=-5

True

The point is a solution
