A racing shell, which is a boat a crew team rows, moves 20 km/h in still water. During practice, the team rows 36 km against the

current and 22 km with the current. Find the speed of the river current if the team rows a total of 3 hours.

Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the river current, t₁ be the time spent rowing against the current and t₂ be the time spent rowing with the current.

Since the speed of the still water = 20 km/h.

The speed of rowing against the current = (20 - x)

The speed of rowing with the current = (20 + x)

We know that velocity = distance / time. Hence time = distance / velocity

t₁ = 36 / (20 - x)

t₂ = 22 / (20 + x)

but t₁ + t₂ = 3 hours

Therefore:

3 = 36 / (20 - x) + 22 / (20 + x)

multiply through by 400 - x²

3(400 - x²) = 36(20 + x) + 22(20 - x)

1200 - 3x² = 720 + 36x + 440 - 22x

3x² + 14x -40 = 0

This gives x = -6.7 or x = 2

x cannot be negative therefore x = 2 km/h

The speed of the river current is 2 km/h

Dilation is either : enlargement or shirking.

Simply you multiply the ordered pair times the dilation vector (Origin-Centered) 

D.F = dilation factor;


d.f  = 5

C' = d.fC

when you multiply a constant times an ordered pair , it multiples into each of the pair.


C' = 5 ( -5 , 1 ) = ( -25, 5 ) 

In case you were asked for A' , B' (test yourself before checking) 



A' = 5 (-4,3) = ( -20 , 15)

B' = 5 ( 2, 3 ) = ( 10, 15) 

Dividing the dilated by the original pair results in the dilation factor

A'/A =  (-20/15)/(-4,3) = 5(-4,3)/(-4,3) = 5
