Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably too late for your RSM homework, but here is the solution:

6/(9-x) [Time they motored upstream] +6/x [Time it took the bottle to get back to the starting point] = 8/3 [Total Time]

Simplify to 54/(x(9-x))=8/3

Cross multiply: 162=(8x)(9-x)

Simplify -x^2+9x=20.25

Multiply both sides by negative one and move 20.25 to the other side. x^2-9x+20.25=0

Solve and get 4.5 :D!

Create and describe a function related to your field (or intended field). Give a detailed explanation of the domain (input) and
Andru [333]

An example of a domain that can be illustrated from the information given will be D(x) = 32.

<h3>Domain and range</h3>

An example based on the information given is "A gas tank in John's car can hold 20 gallons of gas and the car gets 32 miles for every gallon".

John fills up the tank and then goes on a trip. In this case, the distance that will be travelled on one tank will be:

D(x) = 32x

In the above function, it should be noted that the number of gallons can be from 0 to 20. Since he gets 32 miles per gallon, the car can travel 640 miles.

In this case, the domain is the number of gallons that can be used. The number of miles will be the range.
