Answer:

The streamer's speed in still water is 90.23 km/h while the stream's speed is 33.33 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v = streamer's speed in still water and v' = stream's speed. His speed upstream is V = v + v' and his speed downstream is V' = v - v'.

Since he travels 36 km upstream, the time taken is t = 36/V = 36/(v + v').

he travels 32 km downstream, the time taken is t' = 32/V' = 32/(v - v')

The total time is thus t + t' = 36/(v + v') + 32/(v - v')

Since the whole trip takes 6,5 hours,

36/(v + v') + 32/(v - v') = 6.5  (1)

Multiplying each term by (v + v')(v - v'), we have

(v + v')(v - v')36/(v + v') + (v + v')(v - v')32/(v - v') = 6.5(v + v')(v - v')  (1)

(v - v')36 + (v + v')32 = 6.5(v + v')(v - v')  (1)

36v - 36v' + 32v + 32v' = 6.5(v² + v'²)

68v - 4v' = 6.5(v² + v'²)        (2)

Also he travels 4 km upstream, the time taken is t" = 4/V = 4/(v + v').

he travels 40 km downstream, the time taken is t'" = 40/V' = 40/(v - v')

The total time is thus t" + t'" = 4/(v + v') + 40/(v - v')

Since the whole trip takes 180 minutes = 3 hours,

4/(v + v') + 40/(v - v') = 3  (3)

Multiplying each term by (v + v')(v - v'), we have

(v + v')(v - v')4/(v + v') + (v + v')(v - v')40/(v - v') = 3(v + v')(v - v')  (1)

(v - v')4 + (v + v')40 = 3(v + v')(v - v')  (1)

4v - 4v' + 40v + 40v' = 3(v² + v'²)

44v - 36v' = 3(v² + v'²)      (4)

Dividing (2) by (4), we have

(68v - 4v')/(44v - 36v') = 6.5(v² + v'²)/3(v² + v'²)      

(68v - 4v')/(44v - 36v') = 6.5/3

3(68v - 4v') = 6.5(44v - 36v')

204v - 12v' = 286v - 234v'

204v - 286v = 12v' - 234v'

-82v = -222v'

v = -222v'/82

v = 111v'/41

Substituting v into (2), we have

68v - 4v' = 6.5(v² + v'²)      

68(111v'/41) - 4v' = 6.5[(111v'/41)² + v'²]        

[68(111/41) - 4]v' = 6.5[(111/41)² + 1]v'²    

[68(111/41) - 4]v' = 6.5[(111/41)² + 1]v'²

[7548/41 - 4]v' = 6.5[12321/1681 + 1]v'²

[(7548 - 164)/41]v' = 6.5[(12321 + 1681)/1681]v'²

[7384/41]v' = 6.5[14002/1681]v'²

[7384/41]v' = [91013/1681]v'²

[91013/1681]v'² - [7384/41]v' = 0

([91013/1681]v' - [7384/41])v' = 0

⇒ v' = 0 or ([91013/1681]v' - 7384/41) = 0

⇒ v' = 0 or [91013/1681]v' - 7384/41) = 0

⇒ v' = 0 or v' =  7384/41 × 16841/91013

⇒ v' = 0 or v' =  180.097 × 0.185

⇒ v' = 0 or v' =  33.33 km/h

Since v' ≠ 0, v' = 33.33 km/h

Substituting v' into v = 111v'/41 = 111(33.33 km/h)/41 = 3699.63 km/h ÷ 41 = 90.23 km/h

So, the streamer's speed in still water is 90.23 km/h while the stream's speed is 33.33 km/h

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the last row in the matrix z = 1.

From the second row:

y + 5z = -4

y = -4 -5(1) = -9.

From the first row:

x + -1 = -3

x = - 3 + 1

x = -2.

PLEASE HELP<br><br> FIND THE LENGTH OF RS.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between 2 points

=  \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}  + (y1 - y2)^{2} }

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate while (x₂, y₂) I'd the second coordinate.

Length of RS

=  \sqrt{ {[ - 1 -( - 4)] }^{2}  + (9 - 1)^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{( - 1 + 4)^{2}  + 8^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  + 64 }  \\  =  \sqrt{73}  \\ = 8.54 \: (3 \: s.f.)

Thus, RS is about 8.5 units.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

5.13%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount  accumulated in 1 year

= 1600(1 + 0.05/360)^360

= $1682.03

Account's effective annual yield

= 82.03 * 100  / 1600 %

= 5.13%.

HELP PLEASE!!!!
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The rational numbers are \frac{11}{3}, 6.25, 0.01045,\sqrt{\frac{16}{81}},0.\bar{42} and the irrational functions are \sqrt{48},\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number can be expressed in the form of \frac{p}{q}, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example 2,3.5,\frac{2}{5},....

An irrational function can not be expressed in the form of \frac{p}{q}, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example \sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{5},....

If any number is multiplied by a irrational number then the resultant number is an irrational number.

By the above definition we can conclude that:

The number \frac{11}{3} is a rational number.

\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16\times 3}=4\sqrt{3}

Therefore \sqrt{48} is an irrational number.

6.25=\frac{625}{100}=\frac{25}{4}

Therefore 6.25 is a rational number.

0.01045=\frac{1045}{100000}=\frac{209}{20000}

Therefore 0.01045 is a rational number.

\sqrt{\frac{16}{81}}=\frac{4}{9}

The number \frac{16}{81} is a rational number.

\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}

The number \frac{3}{14} is an irrational number.

0.\bar{42}=\frac{42}{99}

Therefore 0.\bar{42} is an irrational number. The numbers with recursive bar are always rational numbers.
