Answer: 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only 1.5\ hr to travel back to town B.

Speed of current is u=5\ mph

Suppose the speed of the ferry is v mph

Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.

\Rightarrow 2(v-5)=1.5(v+5)\\\Rightarrow 2v-10=1.5v+7.5\\\Rightarrow 0.5v=17.5\\\Rightarrow v=35\ mph

Distance between the towns is 2\times (35-5)=60\ \text{miles}

Answer:

The distance between the two towns is 60 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between A and B is d.

A to B , t = 2 hour

B to A , t' = 1.5 hour

Speed of current, u = 5 mph

Let the speed of ferry is v.

distance = speed x time

d = (v - 5) x 2 = (v + 5) x 1.5

2 v - 10 = 1.5 v + 7.5

0.5 v = 17.5

v = 35 mph

So, the distance is

d = (35 - 5) x 2 = 60 miles.

A company's revenue (in dollars) can be modeled by the function
Tju [1.3M]
R(p) = -15p² + 200p + 10,000
To find the maximum of the function, we take the first derivative and equate to 0:

R'(p) = -30p + 200
0 = -30p + 200
p = 6.67

A price of $6.67 will maximize revenue.

Witch of these has a slope of -3/4 and a y intercept of 3/2
Arada [10]

Answer:

See explanation. (Also you can write an equation several different ways so without the choices I cannot tell you which)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

So one way to write the equation is y=-3/4 x +3/2

There are more ways to write it.

Every line about to write is a way to write it.

Multiply both sides by 4:                 4y=-3x+6

Add 3x on both sides:               3x+4y=6

Subtract 6 on both sides:         3x+4y-6=0

There are a lot of ways to write an equation like this.

To better assist you I would need to see options.
