ent), and then back up (against the current), a river that's moving at a rate of 1 mile per hour, so the current affects his rate of speed. If it takes Marco 6 total hours to go x miles downstream and then return to his starting point, how far downstream does he travel?
A) 1.25 miles
B) 2.5 miles
C) 5 miles
D) 17.5 miles

Answer:

S = v1 t1 = 7 t1    traveling downstream

S = v2 t2 = 5 t2    traveling upstream

7 t1 = 5 t2

7 (6 - t2) = 5 t2     since t1 + t2 = 6

42 - 7 t2 = 5 t2

t2 = 42 / 12 = 3.5 hrs so t1 = 2.5 hrs

S = 7 t1 = 7 * 2.5 = 17.5 mi

Also, S = 5 t2 = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5 mi

Find a formula for the sum of the first n even positive integers.
melisa1 [442]
So even postive integers are by defention in form 2k where k is a natural number so
let the sum of even integers to n=S
S=2(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+......+k-1+k
divide bith sides of equation 1 by 2
0.5S=1+2+3+4+5+...........+k-1+k
S=2(k+(k-1)+..............................+2+1)
divide both sides of equation 2 by 2
0.5S=k+k-1+..............................+2+1)
by adding both we will get
___________________________
S=(k+1)(k)
so the sum will be equal to
S=
{k}^{2}  + k
so let us test the equation
for the first 3 even number there sums will be
2+4+6=12
by our equation 3^2+3=12
gave us the same answer so our equation is correct
