Answer: a=8 and b=1
Step-by-step explanation:
If x represents the paddling speed, and y represents the speed of the current.
Then Relative speed in upstream =x-y
Relative time in downstream=x-y
When she paddles upstream then distance covered by her=
⇒8=(x-y)2 or 2(x-y)=8
Thus we get, a=1
When she paddles downstream then distance covered by her=
⇒8=(x+y)1 or 1(x+y)=8
Thus we get b=1
A.
For this case, let us set the variables:
s = 0 (final destination on the ground)
t = unknown
vo = 0
so = 8000 ft
Using the equation, we calculate for t:
0 = -16 t^2 + 0t + 8000
t = 22.36 s
B.
For this case:
s = unknown
t = 22.36 s
vo = 600 miles/hr = 880 ft/s
so = 0
Using the equation, we calculate for s:
s = -16*(22.36)^2 + 880*22.36 + 0
s = 11, 677.29 ft = 2.21 miles
Answer:
x = 14; x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(x)(6 + 8) = x²
(x)(14) = x²
14x = x²
14x - x² = 0
(x)(14 - x) = 0
x = 14; x = 0
