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

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The first one is 0, the second one is ARN (All real numbers)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Anything raised to the "zeroth" power is always 1

2. Because 7 is being raised to the zeroth power, the number inside the parentheses becomes 1. Now x can equal anything, 1 times itself will always equal 1, no matter how many times you multiply them.

(12f^2-9f+15)-(-4f^2-3f+6) subtract.
german
So what you do is distribute the invisible -1 in front of the second parenthasees set and add like terms
remember
x^2+3x^2=4x^2
-(3+4x-x^2)=-1(3x+4x-x^2)=-3-4x+x^2

so first distribute the negative 1
-1(-4f^2-3f+6)=4f^2+3f-6
add
12f^2-9f+15+4f+3f-6
group like terms
12f^2+4f^2-9f+3f+15-6
add
16f^2-6f+9

aswer is 16f^2-6f+9

I'm guessing it is 18. 18 decreased by nine equals nine so to me it makes sense.
