Answer:

360 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let stream speed = x

Speed of water = 3km/hr

Therefore,

Upstream speed = (x - 3) km/hr

Downstream speed = (x + 3) km/hr

Time taken downstream = 15 hours

Time taken upstream = 20 hours

Recall:

Distance = speed * time

Upstream Distance = downstream distance

20(x - 3) = 15(x + 3)

20x - 60 = 15x + 45

20x - 15x = 45 + 60

5x = 105

x = 105 / 5

x = 21

Upstream speed = (21 - 3) = 18

Distance between the two towns :

18 * 20 = 360 km

#4 math homework help needed. Thank you
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

C. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2/ (-x-1)

As we can see, f(x) is a fraction with two components: numerator (2) and denominator (-x-1).

According to the theorem, the fraction only exists when its denominator is different from 0.

So that in this situation, (-x-1) has to be different from 0

- x - 1 ≠0

=> - x≠ 1

=> x ≠ -1

So that if x = -1, (-x-1) = 0, making the fraction not exist.

So the input is not allowed is x = -1

The coefficient of xy in the product of (4x^2+2y) and (3x+y^2) is ...
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Here is your answer! The coefficient of xy is 6. To solve this problem, you need to multiply your two polynomials together. I used the FOIL Method- multiply the First two, the Outside two, the Inside two, and the Last two. You can see how I did it on the picture attached. Next, the answer that you get as a result from FOILing is your polynomial. If you look at the number before xy, that is the coefficient. A coefficient is a number that is right before and attached to a variable. I hope this helps you! :))
