Answer: The speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = speed of boat , y= speed of current.

Given:

x-y=10         (Upstream)       ...(i)

x+y= 16   (Downstream)       ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2x=26

⇒ x= 13

Put x=13 in (i), we get

13-y=10

⇒ y=13-10

⇒ y=3

Hence, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

For what values of θ, −π ≤ θ ≤ π, is y = tan θ undefined?
pogonyaev

Answer:

The answer is II and IV ⇒ the 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* lets check the domain of angle Ф

∵ -π ≤ Ф ≤ π

∵ y = tanФ

∵ tanФ = sinФ/cosФ

* The effective term which makes tanФ undefined is cosФ

- If cosФ = 0, than tanФ will be undefined

* Lets check the angles that have cosФ = 0

∵ The unit circle intersect x-axis at point (1 , 0) and (-1 , 0)

∵ The unit circle intersect y-axis at point (0 , 1) and (0 , -1)

∵ cosФ = x-coordinates of the points

∵ The points of intersection with the y-axis have x- coordinates = 0

∴ The angles on the y-axis have cosФ = 0

* The angles on the +ve part of y-axis are π/2 and -3π/2

 The angles on the -ve part of y-axis are -π/2 and 3π/2

∴ The tan of π/2 , 3π/2 , -π/2 , -3π/2 undefined

* In the problem

I. -π ⇒ defined ⇒ on the -ve part of x-axis

II. -π/2 ⇒undefined

III. 0 ⇒ defined ⇒ on the +ve part of the x-axis

IV. π/2 ⇒ undefined

V. π ⇒ defined ⇒ on the -ve part of x-axis

∴ The answer is II and IV ⇒ the 3rd answer

It is not direct variation because it does not follow the equation 
y = slopex
