B and c are the speeds of the boat (in still water) and the current.

Traveling with the current, the boat goes b+c km per hour.
1 hour * (b+c km)/hour = 15 km
b+c = 15

Traveling against the current, the boat goes b-c km per hour.
3 hours * (b-c km)/hour = 15
b-c = 5

Add the two equations
b = 10 km per hour

How to use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line?
Arada [10]
The slope of the line is the dy/dx value every time it appears in the differential equation. By substituting values for x and y in the DE, the slope can be found for the tangent at a point. This is the value of m in y=mx+a. To find a, plug in the tangent point.

Please help!<br> Solve for x.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

1. 15.9

2. 12

3. 7.29

4. 20.8

5. 11.0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x (a squared minus b squared equals c squared)

Example number 1 is solved by  17 squared - 6 squared equals 253

You do square root and get 15.90

Number 4 is you have to divide 24 by 2 because it is one of the sides

So it is 24 squared minus 12 squared

You find square root and get 20.80

The perimeter of a standard-sized rectangular rug is 36 is 36 ft. the length is 2 ft longer than the width. find the dimensions
evablogger [386]
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width. Because we don't know either the length or the width we can't solve the problem...too many unknowns.  BUT we do have some information that will help with this problem.  We are told that the length is 2 feet longer than the width, so we can use that: L = W+2.  Now we can make the substitution into the formula along with the value for the perimeter that was given to us: 36=2(W+2) + 2W, and 36 = 2W + 4 + 2W; 36 = 4W + 4; 32 = 4W and W = 8.  Now go back to where you said that the length is 2 feet longer than the width.  If the width is 8, then 8+2 = 10 for the length.
