Answer:

  • 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The speed of the boat  in the lake = x
  • The speed of the current = 3 km/h

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
  • 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
  • 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
  • 6x = 144
  • x = 144/6
  • x = 24 km/h

What is the volume of corn held in this cone-shaped grain silo? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest cubic foot. Enter your a
babymother [125]

Answer:

V = 301 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

We know pi = 3.14 r =6 and

We need to determine h

We can find h from the Pythagorean theorem where 6 is a leg and 10 is the hypotenuse

h^2 +6^2 = 10^2

h^2 +36 = 100

h^2 = 64

Taking the square root of each side

h = 8

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 (3.14) (6)^2 * 8

V = 301.44 ft^3

Rounding to the nearest cubic foot

V = 301 ft^3

What is the product of 3y<br> product of (3y^)(274)
Dima020 [189]

3y^-4 × (2y^-4) = 6y^-8

= 6/1/y^8

= 6/y^8

.................................................

1) When x^1 multiply with x^2, 1 will add to 2 and become 3

= x^3

2) y^-1 = 1/y

3^-2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9

5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25
