Answer:

  • 5 km/h or 6 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the speed of the boat be x
  • Speed against the current in the river is x - 2

<u>Time in the river:</u>

  • 6/(x - 2)

<u>Time in the lake:</u>

  • 15/x

<u>The difference:</u>

  • 6/(x - 2) = 15/x - 1

Solve for x to find the speed of the boat

<u>Multiply both sides by x(x - 2) to clear the fraction:</u>

  • 6x = 15(x - 2) - x(x - 2)
  • 6x = 15x - 30 - x² + 2x
  • x² - 11x + 30 = 0
  • (x - 5)(x - 6) =0
  • x -5 = 0, x - 6 = 0
  • x = 5 km/h, x = 6 km/h

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Our function is 2x-13x+5

  • 2x-13x+5= -11x+5
  • F(0)= 5 and F(6)= -11*6+5 = -61
  • let m be the average change : m= (-61-5)/6= -11

Use technology to find the​ P-value for the hypothesis test described below. The claim is that for a smartphone​ carrier's data
EastWind [94]

Solution :

The null and alternative hypothesis is given by

$H_0: \mu = 11$

$H_a: \mu \ne 11$

Assume that the level of significance, α = 0.05

The t-test statistics is, t = 1.484

Degree of freedom :

df = n - 1

   = 14 - 1

   = 13

The P-value is given by

P-value = 2P (T>|t|)

            = 2P(T>|1.484|)

            = 2P(T>1.484)

            = 2(=T.DIST.RT(1.484,13))

            = 0.05
