A boat can travel at an average speed of 10 miles per hour in still water. Traveling with the current, it can travel 6 miles in

the same amount of time it takes to travel 4 miles upstream....Use the ratio T= D/R to construct a rational equation that can be solved for x to find the speed of the current..... Whats the answer? Please answer as soon as possible...

Answer: The speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the speed of the boat is:

S = 10 mph.

When the boat travels with the current, the speed will be:

S = 10mph + x

where x = speed of the current.

When the boat travels against the current, the speed will be:

S = 10mph - x

Now, for a given amount of time T, when the boat travels with the current, it moves a distance of 6 miles.

Then we have the equation:

(10mph + x)*T = 6mi

And against the current, in the same time the boat moves 4 mi, then:

(10 mph - x)*T = 4mi

Then we have the system of equations:

(10mph + x)*T = 6mi

(10 mph - x)*T = 4mi

Now, we can take the quotient of these two equations and get:

((10mph + x)*T)/((10 mph - x)*T) = (6mi/4mi)

(10mph + x)/(10 mph - x) = 3/2

Now we can solve this for x.

(10mph + x) = (3/2)*(10 mph - x)

10mph + x = (3/2)*10mph - (3/2)*x

x + (3/2)*x = (3/2)*10mph - 10mph

(5/2)*x = (1/2)*10mph = 5mph

x = (2/5)*5mph = 2mph.

The speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

If f(x)=×^2+7x-5 and you divide by x-2, What is the quotient and remainder?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The quotient is : x+9

The remainder is : 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to perform the long division method;

This will be;

x-2\sqrt{x^2+7x-5}

start with the x term in x-2 and the first term in the function, x², to get x then multiply the x with x-2 to get x²-2x and perform the operation below;

x-2√x²+7x-5 -----------to first get x and then multiply x*[x-2]⇒x²-2x

    -  x²-2x+0 ------------perform subtraction of like terms

---------------------

            9x-5  ----now divide this answer by x-2 ,starting with x and 9x

----------------------This will give , 9 then multiply  9 by x-2 to get 9x-18 and perform the subtraction operation as;

             9x-5

      -      9x-18

------------------------

                     13

So the answer will be; x+9 remainder 13

I don't understand how you find the value of expressions. Ex..<br> 5•[7+7÷(6+1)]+4•12
Alexxandr [17]
= [7+7 <span>÷ 7] + 4.12
= [7+1] + 4.12
= 8 + 4.12
= 12.12

Parts of an algebraic expression separated by plus or minus signs are
goblinko [34]

Answer:  called tthe term of an algebraic expression.

<h3 /><h3>Step-by-step explanation: We know an algebraic expression is a collection or combination of constant and variables of one or more terms, which are separated by the fundamental operations (+, –, × and ÷).</h3><h3 /><h3>Some of the examples of algebraic expression are 7b + 5m, 5x + 3y + 10, 5x/y + 3, x + y + z, etc.</h3><h3>Terms of an algebraic expression:</h3><h3>Each part of an algebraic expression which are separated by plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) is called the term of an algebraic expression. It’s important to remember that the division sign (÷) or multiplication sign (×) does not separate the terms of an algebraic expression.</h3>

Examples of algebraic expressions and their terms:

(i)  x + 10

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression x + 10 is 2. The terms are x and 10.

(ii)  5m + 2n - 7

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression 5m + 2n – 7 is 3. The terms are 5m, 2n and 7.

(iii)  3a/b

We observe that the number of term used in the expression 3a/b is 1. The term is 3a/b.

(iv) 3xy + 7xz + 2yz - 6

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression 3xy + 7xz + 2yz - 6 is 4. The terms are 3xy, 7xz, 2yz and 6.

)  2abc + 1

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression 2abc + 1 is 2. The terms are 2abc and 1.

Therefore, the algebraic expressions are either simple or compound.

(i) Simple algebraic expressions consist of one term.

(ii) Compound algebraic expressions consist of two or more terms.
