Answer:

x = $\frac{43}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ x - 5 = $\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 4 and 8 ) to clear the fractions

6x - 40 = 3 ( add 40 to both sides )

6x = 43 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{43}{6}$

A boat traveled 150 miles downstream (with the current) and back (against the current). The trip downstream took 10 hours. The t

Margarita [4]

Answer:

b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it's downstream and upstream speed be d and u respectively

also speed of the boat be b and speed of stream be c.

as per question d = 150/10= 15 miles/hr

and, u= 150/30= 5 miles/hr

also we know d= b+c = 15.....i and u = b-c= 5....ii

solving i and ii we get b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

Question 8 Find the unit vector in the direction of (2,-3). Write your answer in component form. Do not approximate any numbers

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The unit vector in component form is $\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$ or $\hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $\vec u = (2,-3)$ , its unit vector is determined by following expression:

$\hat {u} = \frac{\vec u}{\|\vec u \|}$

Where $\|\vec u \|$ is the norm of $\vec u$ , which is found by Pythagorean Theorem:

$\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{13}$

Then, the unit vector is:

$\hat{u} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}} \cdot (2,-3)$

$\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$

The unit vector in component form is $\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)$ or $\hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j$ .
