Answer: 45\ mph,  5\ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles upstream and 4 hours to go downstream

Suppose the speed of motorboat in still water and rate of current be x and y respectively.

during upstream

\Rightarrow 5=\dfrac{200}{x-y}\\\\\Rightarrow x-y=40\quad \ldots(i)

During downstream

\Rightarrow 4=\dfrac{200}{x+y}\\\\\Rightarrow x+y=50\quad \ldots(ii)

Add (i) and (ii) we get

\Rightarrow 2x=90\\\Rightarrow x=45\ mph

\therefore y=5\ mph

Thus, the speed of boat in still water is 45\ mph and rate of current is 5\ mph

How do you determine whether to use 22/7 or 3.14 for π ?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

  Use the value the problem statement tells you. Otherwise, use a better approximation.

Step-by-step explanation:

π ≈ 3.141592653589793238... (a non-repeating infinite decimal)

3.14 = 3.14

22/7 = 3.142857142857_142857

355/113 = 3.14159292035... (a very long repeating decimal)

You can see that the third decimal place is wrong in both of your approximations. The last approximation shown has 7 good decimal digits. A good scientific or graphing calculator will have an internal value for pi that is good to 10 or 12 digits or more (preferably, at least 32 digits).

You should use a value for pi that has at least one more digit of accuracy than the number of significant digits in your answer.

the equation y=12.21x +37.42 fits the scatterplot of the values for stock ABC over the past month with an r-value of 0.9871. how
Lynna [10]
I'm pretty sure you already solved this by now, but I'll say the answer anyway. This problem has already been solved by another as a verified answer. 

This is the concept of financial algebra, we are required to calculate the value of stock ABC which follows the model given by: 
y=12.21x+37.42
given that x=62 days, 
the value of th estock after 62 days will be given by: 
y=12.21(62)+37.42
y=757.02+37.42
y=794.44

ABC will be worth $794.44

I take no credit for this answer. It was solved by CastleRook.
