A man can row at 9km/h in still water. He rows 1.5km upstream and back again. The stream flows at 3km/h. What is his average spe

ed for the whole trip?

Answer: average speed is 8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation: in upstream his speed is 9 km/h -3km/h.

So his speed is 6km/h and he needs time t= s/v= 1.5 km: 6 km/h = 0.25 h

Downstream his speed is 9 km/ + 3km/h = 12km/h and time is

1.5 km:12km/h= 1/8 hours= 0.125 h

Average speed v = s/t = 3km: (0.25 + 0.125 ) h = 8 km/h

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rowing against the current, he travels 9-3 = 6 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(6 km) = ¼ h

It takes him ¼ h to row 1.5 km upstream.

Rowing with the current, he travels 9+3 = 12 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(12 km) = ⅛ h

It takes him ⅛ h to row 1.5 km downstream.

Average speed = (3 km)/(¼+⅛ h) = 8 km/h

This equation has one solution. 5(x – 1) + 3x = 7(x + 1) What is the solution?

bogdanovich [222]

Open up the brackets
$5x - 5 + 3x = 7x + 7$
Collect like terms
$5x + 3x - 7x = 7 + 5$
Simplify
$8x -7x = 12$
$x = 12$
Therefore, your answer is 12.

Answer: $\dfrac{15}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Inside radius of figure $r_1=\frac{14}{2}=7\ ft$

Outside radius of figure $r_2=\frac{16}{2}=8\ ft$

Area of outside region is $A_1=\pi (8^2)$

Area of inside region $A_2=\pi (7)^2$

Area of shaded region $A_1-A_2$

Probability that point lies inside the shaded region is

$\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{A_1-A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{\pi (8^2-7^2)}{\pi 8^2}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{64-49}{64}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{15}{64}$

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$-2.813$

Step-by-step explanation:

Se simplifica inicialmente la fórmula en términos de las funciones trigonométricas fundamentales (Initially, the formula is simplified in terms of fundamental trigonometric functions):

$(\sec 245^{\circ} + \tan 45^{\circ} )\cdot \cot 37^{\circ} - 2\cos 60^{\circ}$

$\left(\frac{1}{\cos 245^{\circ}}+\frac{\sin 45^{\circ}}{\cos 45^{\circ}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{\cos 37^{\circ}}{\sin 37^{\circ}} \right) - 2\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}$

$(-2.366 + 1 )\cdot (1.327) - 1$

$-2.813$

Which set of data is correct for the quadratic relation f(x) = 5(x -

Burka [1]

Answer:

Direction parabola opens upward.

Vertex of parabola is (27,-9).

Axis of symmetry is $x=27$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Option sets are not correct.

The vertex form of a parabola is

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$ ...(1)

where, (h,k) is vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.

If a<0, then parabola opens downward and if a>0, then parabola opens upward.

The given function is

$f(x)=5(x-27)^2-9$ ...(2)

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

$a=5>0$ , so direction parabola opens upward.

$h=27,k=-9$ , so vertex of parabola is (27,-9).

So, axis of symmetry is $x=27$ .
