Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b and c are the speeds of the boat and current, respectively.

Traveling upstream, the boat moves b-c km per hour.

Traveling downstream, the boat moves b+c km per hour.

b-c = (60 km)/(½ h) = (120 km)/h

b+c = (60 km)/(⅓ h) = (180 km)/h

Adding the equations together,

2b = (300 km)/h

b = (150 km)/h

c = (30 km)/h

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP IF YOU KNOW THIS..... To the nearest hundredth, what is the length of line segment AB ?
Oliga [24]
Imagine a right triangle being made from this line, with segment AB as the hypotenuse. The missing point of the triangle would be on (-4,-5) Lets name the point C

Okay, so since we have a right triangle, we can solve for the length of AB using the pythagorean theorem.

a²+b²=c²    where a and b are side lengths and c is the hypotenuse

The distance from A to C is 5units
The distance from B to C is 3 units

Plug in the data that we know

5²+3²=c²
25+9=c²
34=c²
√34=c
5.830=c
round to the nearest hundredth
5.83=c

Answer=5.83 units

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -2 and 1, and whose leading coefficient is 4 .
Kaylis [27]

Answer: the equation is

4x^2 + 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 2.

The general form of a quadratic equation is expressed as

ax^2 + bx + c

Where

a is the leading coefficient

c is a constant

Assuming we want to write the quadratic equation in x, from the information given, the roots which are given are -2 and 1 and the leading coefficient is 4.

Therefore, the linear factors of the quadratic equation will be (x+2) and (x-1)

the equation becomes

(x+2)(x-1)

= x^2 - x +2x - 3

= x^2 + x - 3

Given a leading coefficient of 4, we will multiply the quadratic expression by 4. It becomes

4(x^2 + x - 3)

= 4x^2 + 4x - 12

Five children have to form a queue. In how many different ways can they be arranged?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

120 different ways

The total number of ways to do this is the product because of the fundamental counting principle[1]. So 5x4x3x2x1 = 5! (read as “5 factorial”[2]) = 120 different ways to line up those 5 people. Five people lining up essentially means 5 people sorting into 5 positions.
