Answer:
Increasing by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a exponentional function. The format for this type of function is a(b)^x. So "a" is your initial value, and "b" is the rate. Now let's think to ourselves what times what is still equal to the same thing? That is 1. But in our question, we have 1.4. So we are increasing by 0.4, or 40%.
Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour
Answer:
Step-by-step eNow examine the right triangle on the left in the figure.
x%2F10=sin%2850%29, in reference to the 50 degree angle, hypotenuse is that slanted segment of 10 units, and "x" is the opposite side from the 50 degree angle.
Answer:
96 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A of parallelogram =base×height
12×8= 96 units^2
No it's smaller. 12.56 is much less than 125.6.
