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

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:Scott is over 3 times older that Kate

Step-by-step explanation:

Kate is 3 years old. Her brother, Scott is 10 years old.

A) The ratio of Scott's age to Kate's age would be Scott's age divided by Kate's age. It becomes

10/3

B) To determine how many times older than Kate is Scott, we would express the ratio of their ages in decimal. Therefore

10/3 = 3.33

Therefore, Scott is over 3 times older that Kate

Find the distance CD rounded to the nearest tenth<br> C=(10,-1) and D=(-6,3)
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

CD = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use this formula: L = \sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^{2} }

point C can be info set 1: (10, -1)    x₁ = 10   y₁ = -1

point D can be info set 2: (-6, 3)    x₂ = -6  y₂ = 3

Substitute the information into the formula

L = \sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^{2} }

CD = \sqrt{(-6 -10)^{2}+(3 -(-1))^{2} }    Simplify inside each bracket

CD = \sqrt{(-16)^{2}+(4)^{2} }    Square the numbers

CD = \sqrt{256+16 }     Add inside the root

CD = \sqrt{272}    Enter into calculator

CD = 16.5  Rounded to the nearest tenth, the first decimal

The distance CD is 16.5.

Collision coverage pays for damage to your car resulting from a collision with another car, an object, such as a tree or telephone pole, or as a result of flipping over (note that collisions with deer are covered under comprehensive). It also covers damage caused by potholes.

Hope this helped. :)

Consider this function.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

3. Since the range of the original function is limited to y> 6, the domain of the inverse function is x ≥ 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the range of its inverse, and vice versa. The only answer choice that expresses this relationship is choice 3.

__

Comment on the answer choice:

The slope of the function is undefined at x=4, so restricting the function domain to the portion with positive slope means the domain restriction of the function is x > 4. That also means the range restriction of the function is y > 6. The domain restriction of the inverse function is the same: x > 6, not x ≥ 6. The answer choice has an error.
