Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:

answer: √10
P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.
Answer:
This is easy -- it's just a list of steps. At this level, the problems are pretty simple.
Let's just do one, then I'll write out the list of steps for you.
Find the inverse of f( x ) = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1
STEP 1: Stick a "y" in for the "f(x)" guy:
y = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1
STEP 2: Switch the x and y
( because every (x, y) has a (y, x) partner! ):
x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1
STEP 3: Solve for y:
x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1 ... multiply by 3 to ditch the fraction ... 3x = -y + 3 ... ditch the +3 ... subtract 3 from both sides ... 3x - 3 = -y ... multiply by -1 ... -3x + 3 = y ... y = -3x + 3
STEP 4: Stick in the inverse notation, f^( -1 )( x )
f^( -1 )( x ) = -3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the above question can be determined as -
Let the point on the left side of P be Q, thus coordinates of Q are (a,1) and point on the right side of P be R, thus coordinates of R will be, (a+4, 1).
Now, it given that, between x coordinates of Q and R is 4, and it can be seen that they are getting divided into half.
So, the x coordinate of P will be - a +
i.e. a + 2
<u>Thus, the x coordinate of P will be a +2.</u>
R is greater then or equal to18
Answer:
(25.53, 37.87): 95% CI
(23.59, 39.81): 99% CI
Step-by-step explanation:
The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by:

In which
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
z is related to the confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the higher the values of z, and thus, we wider the confidence interval is.
In this question:
The narrower C.I. is the 95%, and the wider is the 99%. So
(25.53, 37.87): 95% CI
(23.59, 39.81): 99% CI
