Answer:
The percentage rate is 4.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple interest earned in this situation is $1270 - $1000, or $270.
the simple interest formula is i =prt.
Here, i = $270 = ($1000)(r)(6 yr).
$270
Then r = ------------------- = 0.045
$1000(6 yr)
The percentage rate is 4.5%

Answer:
x^2 -8x -5 = -3
x^2 -8x -2 = 0
We complete the square by:
1) Moving the "non X" term to the right:
x^2 -8x = 2
2) Dividing the equation by the coefficient of X²
The coefficient of x is 1 so we don't do anything
3) Now here's the "completing the square" stage in which we:
• take the coefficient of X
that is -8
• divide it by 2
-8 ÷ 2 = -4
• square that number
-4*-4 = 16
• then add it to both sides of the equation.
x^2 -8x +16 = 2 +16
That becomes
(x -4)^2 = 18
we take the square root of both sides:
(x -4) = sqr root (18)
x1 = sqr root (18) +4
AND
(x+4) = sqr root (18) -4
x1 = sqr root (18) +4 = 4.2426406871 + 4 = 8.2426406871
x2 = sqr root (18) -4 = = 4.2426406871 - 4 = .2426406871
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this item, we have 4 as the speed of the kayaker in still water and the speed of current be y.
When the karayaker moves upstream or against the current, his speed would be 4 - y. Further, if he moves downstream or with the current, the total speed would be 4 + y. The time utilized for the travel is equal to the ratio of the distance and the speed.
Total time = 9/(4 - y) + 9/(4 + y) = 6
We multiply the equation by (4-y)(4+y)
9(4-y) + 9(4 + y) = 6(4-y)(4+y)
Simplifying,
72 = 96 - 6y²
Transposing all the constants to only one side of the equation and rearranging,
6y² = 96 - 72
y² = 4
y = 2
Hence, the speed of the river's current is 2 miles/hr. <em>The answer is letter B.) 2 miles/hour.</em>
