Answer:
The rate of current is 2.5 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.
If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.
Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as
⇒
⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²
⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0
Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write
(Neglecting the negative root)
⇒
mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
The quadratic formula is expressed as:
x = (-b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac) ) / 2a
where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation with the form ax^2 + bx + c=0
Therefore, the quadratic equation would be:
a = 3
b = -6
c = 8
x = (-(-6) +/- √((-6)^2 - 4(3)(8) ) / 2(3)
Hope this helps.
