Answer:

Total Mark = 5c - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Mark = 4c - (a - c) = 5c - a

Marks for correct questions = 4c

Marks deducted for incorrect questions = a - c

A boat travels 12 Mph in still water. It can travel 18 miles upstream in the same time that it can travel 24 miles downstream. W
quester [9]

Answer:

The current of the water is 1.714 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boat in t hours can travel 18 miles upstream, and  24 miles downstream.

Therefore, if the speed of the boat in still water is 12 mph and that of water is x mph , then we can write  

\frac{18}{t} = 12 - x ........ (1) and  

\frac{24}{t} = 12 + x ............ (2)

Now, adding those two equations (1) and (2) we get,

\frac{18}{t} + \frac{24}{t} = 24

⇒ t = 1.75 hours.

Now, from equation (1) we get

\frac{18}{1.75} = 12 - x

⇒ x = 1.714 mph

Therefore, the current of the water is 1.714 mph. (Answer)

What is the measure of the vertex angle
maw [93]

Answer:

Vertex angle = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<BAC = m<BCA (base angles of isosceles ∆ are congruent)

7x + 1 = 5x + 9

Collect like terms

7x - 5x = -1 + 9

2x = 8

divide both sides by 2

x = 4

Vertex angle = 180 - ((7x + 1) + (5x + 9)) (sum of triangle)

Plug in the value of x

Vertex angle = 180 - ((7*4 + 1) + (5*4 + 9))

Vertex angle = 180 - (29 + 29)

Vertex angle = 124°

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x2 + 5x + 7 = 0 0 cannot be determined 1 2
erastova [34]

Answer:

   0

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic of the form

  ax² +bx +c = 0

The "discriminant" is the expression ...

  b² -4ac

For this equation, we have a=1, b=5, c=7, so the discriminant is ...

  5² -4·1·7 = -3

When the discriminant is negative there will be two distinct complex roots to the equation, and no real roots.

_____

When the discriminant is zero, there will be one real root with multiplicity 2; when it is positive, there will be two distinct real roots.
