Answer:

Let  b  =  rate of the boat.

Let  r  =  rate of the river.

The rate going downstream is  b + r.

The rate going upstream is  b - r.

rate x time  =  distance

4(b + r)  =  144     --->     b + r  =  36     [divide both sides by 4]

9(b - r)  =  144      --->     b - r  =  16      [divide both sides by 9]

Add town:                          2b  =  52  

Divide by :                           b  =  26  mi/hr

                                           r  =  10  mi/hr

What is the least number n with the property that, in every group of n people, there are at least three people who are all frien
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is a the complete question

answer : n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

lets consider N to be 5

To prove that the least number 'n' = 5

we will represent this information in a graph as vertex

Black edge = Friends

Blue edge = not Friends

From the attached diagram any  vertex contains 0,1,2,3,4 black lines and 4,3,2,1,0 blue lines

attached below is an explanation related to the choice of n = 5

considering n = 5 is satisfied by the explanation given

The graph shows the dilation of ΔABC with the origin as its center. Which rule describes this transformation? A) (x, y) → (2x, 2
podryga [215]

<u><em>Note: Since, you have not added the graph. So, I will give you a general overview of the concept of dilation, the understanding of which will make you clear your concept.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dilation is the kind of transformation which produces an image which has the same shape as the original object, but having a different size.

Here are some key factors regarding dilation:

  • Enlargement occurs when a dilation does create a larger image.
  • Reduction occurs when a dilation does create a smaller image.
  • A dilation shrinks or stretches the original object.
  • If the scale factor > 1, the image will be a stretch (enlargement)
  • If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image will be shrunk (reduction)
  • If the scale factor = 1, the original object and the image will be congruent

Here is the impact of dilation when (x, y) → (2x, 2y):

  • Dilation with scale factor 2, will have the rule as (x, y) → (2x, 2y). The image will be a stretch (enlargement) as the scale factor > 1.
  • The location of the new coordinates of the image can be obtained by multiplying the coordinates of the original figure by 2.

For example, the coordinates of the image of a point A(4, 8) will be A'(2×4, 2×8) or A'(8, 16) after the dilation of scale 2 at the origin.

Here is the impact of dilation when (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y):

  • Dilation with scale factor 0.5, will have the rule as (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y). The image will be shrunk (reduction) as the scale factor < 1.
  • The location of the new coordinates of the image can be obtained by multiplying the coordinates of the original figure by 0.5.

For example, the coordinates of the image of a point A(4, 8) will be A'(0.5×4, 0.5×8) or A'(2, 4) after the dilation of scale 0.5 at the origin.

Keywords: dilation, transformation, enlargement, reduction

Pythagoras was born about 582 BC Isaac Newton was born in 1643 AD how many years apart were they born?
SSSSS [86.1K]
2225 years. Since 582 BC is 582 years away from zero and 1643 is 1643 units away from zero, you add them together. Think of it like a number line.
