Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:

        motorboat =  x + y mph

        raft = y mph

In two hours they will cover:

        motorboat = 2(x+y) miles

        raft = 2y miles

After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.

Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover

        motorboat = t(x - y) miles

        raft = ty miles

The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so

2(x+y)=2y+t(x-y)+ty \\ \\2x+2y=2y+tx-ty+ty\\ \\2x=tx\\ \\t=2\ hours

Select the correct answer. If the function 5x + y = 1 has the domain (-2, 1, 6), then what is the corresponding range? OA. {-9,
Leokris [45]

Answer:

D) {11,-4,-29}

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite the equation as y= -5x+1 and plug in -2,1 and 6 to get y

-5*-2+1=11

-5*1+1=-4

-5*6+1=-29

Find the inverse function
Troyanec [42]

The inverse of the function is f(x) = x^{3} + 8

In order to find the inverse of any function, start by switching the f(x) and x. Then solve for the new f(x). The result will be the inverse function. The work is below for you.

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 8} ----> Switch f(x) and x

x = \sqrt[3]{f(x) - 8} ----> Cube both sides

x^{3} = f(x) - 8 ----> Add 8 to both sides

f(x) = x^{3} + 8

Triangle angle - sum theorem<br> what is the value of y?
dangina [55]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

All angle measures in a triangle add up to 180°.

  • This means that 63 + 82 + 7y = 180

<u>Solving for Y:</u>

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (7y) + (63+82)=180
  • 7y + 145 = 180

Step 2: Subtract 145 from both sides.

  • 7y + 145 - 145 = 180 - 145
  • 7y = 35

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

  • \frac{7y}{7} = \frac{35}{7}
  • y = 5

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 7(5) + 63 + 82 = 180
  • 35 + 63 + 82 = 180
  • 98 + 82 = 180
  • 180 = 180

Therefore, y = 5.
