We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).

Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

2. Find the next three terms of the sequence.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. -2,592, -15,552, -93,312

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the terms is the previous term multiplied by 6. You can find this by taking any term and dividing it by the one before it. The answer will always be 6.

-72/-12 = 6

-12/-2 = 6

So, in order to find the next 3, we take the last term and multiply it by 6.

-432 * 6 = -2,592

-2,592 * 6 = -15,552

-15,552 * 6 = -93,312
