Answer:

Let the current speed be "c";

Then the boat speed in still wate is "5c":

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

Upstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c-c = 4c mph ; time = 12/4c = 3/c hrs

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

Downstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c+c = 6c mph ; time = 12/6c = 2/c hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

time + time = 2 1/2 hrs

3/c + 2/c = 5/2

Multiply thru by 2c to get:

6 + 4 = 5c

c = 2 mph (speed of the current)

5c = 10 mph (speed of the boat in still water)

Triangle QRS is to be dilated using the rule D Subscript P, three-fourths.
zaharov [31]

The distance from the center of dilation, P, to.the image vertice S' is; 6 units.

<h3>What is the distance from the center of dilation, P, to the image S'?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the center of dilation of the triangle QRS is point P and the length of segment PS in the pre-image is; 8 units.

Hence, since the dilation factor as given in the task content is; three-fourths, it therefore follows that the distance of point P to S' in the image is; (3/4) × 8 = 6units.

Consider the statement | x − 4 | &lt; 0.5 |x-4|&lt;0.5. What is the meaning of this statement? Select all that apply. a. All val
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is

|x-4|

x-4 is difference between x and 4.

|x-4| distance from x because distance can not be negative.

Inequality sign "<" means less than.

|x-4| represent all values of x whose distance from 4 is less than 0.5.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First we just convert the angle from radians to degrees
  • \frac{31\pi radians }{6}*\frac{180degrees}{\pi radians}  =\frac{31*180}{6} degrees=930degrees
  • Now that's too big, all this means is if we start rotating from the positive y-axis in a circle we will cross the starting point 2 times, 2 full circles;
  • 930degrees-360degrees=570degrees\\570degrees-360degrees=210degrees  
  • Now in which quadrant it 210 degrees?
  • 0 degrees to 90 degrees is 1st quadrant
  • 90 degrees to 180 degrees is 2nd quadrant
  • 180 degrees to 270 degrees is 3rd quadrant
  • 270 degrees to 360 degrees is 4th quadrant
  • So our answer is the 3rd quadrant.

Please need help!!!!!!!!
user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we would have to multiply the "2x - 8" by 5 each resulting in 10x - 40 + 15. Then we subtract which results in 10x - 25 = - 15. We add 25 to 25 and 15 resulting in 10x = 10. We divide each by 10 which results in x = 1.
