<u>Question 1 solution:</u>
You have two unknowns here:

Let the Water current speed = W

Let Rita's average speed = R

We are given <em>two </em>situations, where we can form <em>two equations</em>, and therefore solve for the <em>two unknowns, W, R</em>:

Part 1)  W→ , R←(against current, upstream) 
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water<span>:  

</span>R–W=2  - equation 1

Part 2)  W→ , R<span>→</span>(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3  - equation 2

From equation 1, W=R-2, 
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr

So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr

Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:

1...               R=2+W
2...  (2+W)+W=3
                 2W=1
                   W=1/2mi/hr

If the diameter of the semicircle is 1.7 centimeters, what is the circumference of the semicircle?
spin [16.1K]
The formula for circumference is C=2 \pi r or C= \pi d.  We have a diameter for the semicircle, so let's use the diameter formula.  C= \pi (1.7) which is either C=1.7 \pi or C = 5.338 if we multiply pi in as 3.14.  BUT this is only half a circle, so we only have half that distance around the outside.  Therefore, the circumference of half this circle is 2.669 cm.  But we need to add the 24 mm in.  24 mm in centimeters is 2.4 cm.  So 2.669 + 2.4 = 5.069

Find the Slope:
AveGali [126]

Answer:

4) slope= 0

5) slope =  -  \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{2} - y_1 }{x_2 - x_1} }

4) Slope

=  \frac{10 - 10}{ - 10 - 3}

=  \frac{0}{ - 13}

= 0

The slope is zero as the line is a horizontal line (since both points have the same y-coordinate of 10).

5) Slope

=  \frac{5 - 4}{2 - 9}

=  \frac{1}{ - 7}

=  -  \frac{1}{7}

Since you have taken (x₁, y₁) to be (9, 4), the value of x₁ should be 9 instead of 2.

How to find the equation of a circle
Finger [1]
Hmmm lemme do the first one only

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ &#10;(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2&#10;\qquad &#10;center~~(\stackrel{5}{ h},\stackrel{3}{ k})\qquad \qquad &#10;radius=\stackrel{2}{ r}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;(x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=2^2\implies (x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=4

Why is the absolute value of every number positive
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

because you can't get closer to 0 on the number line than 0 units away.

Step-by-step explanation:

it's like walking if the point is 3 foot in front of you and you walk to it once you get to it then even if you keep walking you can't go a negative number of feet away from it because the closest you can get is right on it.
