Answer:

1.5 km/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

d is the David's speed in still water

c is the speed of the current

Going with the current, he travels d+c km per hour.

Going against the current, he travels d-c km per hour.

d+c = (20 km)/(2.5 hours) = 8 km/hour

d-c = (20 km)/(4 hours) = 5 km/hour

Add the equations to eliminate the c terms

d+c = 8

d-c = 5

----------

2d = 13

d = 6.5 km/hour

c = 8-d = 1.5 km/hour

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
shutvik [7]
55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

How are dilations and functions related?
Anika [276]
If we dialate a function we are just changing what the graph looks like by a stretch or a compression, the function really doesn't change.  If a function before the dilation, then it is a function after the dilation.  The opposite is also true.
