the excursion boat on the river takes 2 1/2 hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles up stream and to return. If the rate at w

hich the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, what is the rate of the current?

Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going 
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C

Time = distance/Rate,  (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C

Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:

12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
 5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h

A rectangle is placed around a semicircle as shown below. The length of the rectangle is 8 cm. Find the area of the shaded regio
icang [17]

Answer:

Area of the shaded region = 6.88 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - Area of the semicircle

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

Length of the rectangle = AD = 8 cm

Width of the rectangle = OP = 4 cm [OP, OB and OC are the radii of the circle which are equal in measures]

Area of the rectangle = 8 × 4 = 32 cm²

Area of the semicircle = \frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}

                                     = \frac{1}{2}\pi (OP)^{2}

                                     = \frac{1}{2}\pi (4)^{2}

                                     = 25.12 cm²

Area of the shaded region = 32 - 25.12

                                              = 6.88 cm²

What is the solution to the inequality below. x(absolute value) <5
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

-5 < x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| < 5

This can be split into two cases: x < 5 and -x < 5 because |x| could be either x or -x depending on whether x is positive, negative, or 0. Solving the second one we get x > -5 so the answer is -5 < x < 5.

Can someone please tell me if i am right?
pentagon [3]
Second one is correct, that is an identity.

Third one is a contradiction:
6x - 15 = 3 * (2x - 6)    ------>    6x - 15 = 6x - 18

Fourth one:
5x - 3 * (x - 4) = 2 * (x - 6) ---> 5x - 3x + 12 = 2x - 12 ---> 2x + 12 = 2x -12
So this is a contradiction as well.
