Answer:

  • 6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the current be c

<u>Time upstream is</u>

  • 55/(16 + c)

<u>Time downstream is</u>

  • 55/(16 - c)

<u>Total time is 8 hours</u>

  • 55/(16 + c) + 55/(16 - c) = 8
  • 55(16 -c + 16 + c)/(16 + c)(16 - c) = 8
  • 55*32= 8*(16² - c²)
  • 220 = 256 - c²
  • c² = 36
  • c = 6 mph

What are the solutions to the equation f(x)= g(x)?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

2 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equations of f(x) and g(x).

To find f(x) = g(x), we just let those two equations equal each other

x^{2} -4x+5=x+1

Group all like terms,

x^{2} -3x+4=0

Factorise,

(x-4)(x+1)=0

x=4, x=-1

Therefore, there are two solutions

Dafna1 [17]
Experimental probability is if an experiment was actually run. If those values are the result of an experiment, then the probability is desired value (white) over total possibilities.

\frac{12}{20} =  \frac{3}{5} or 0.6
