Answer:
Let b = rate of the boat.
Let r = rate of the river.
The rate going downstream is b + r.
The rate going upstream is b - r.
rate x time = distance
4(b + r) = 144 ---> b + r = 36 [divide both sides by 4]
9(b - r) = 144 ---> b - r = 16 [divide both sides by 9]
Add town: 2b = 52
Divide by : b = 26 mi/hr
r = 10 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The question is incomplete as the function is not given. However, the following explanation will guide you.</em>
<em></em>
The average rate of change is calculated using;

Where

Take for instance;
The function is:

We have to solve for f(-1) and f(5);
i.e.


Substitute -1 for a and 5 for b




Substitute values for f(5) and f(-1)

s = hours it takes the small pipe on its own.
L = hours it takes the large pipe on its own.
we know the small pipe can do it in 11 hours total, so s = 11, so, how much of the whole job has the small done in 1 hour only?
well, if it takes 11 hours to do the whole thing, in 1 hour it has done only 1/11 of the whole job.
we know both pipes working together can do it in 6 hours flat. So in 1 hour only, both of them have done only 1/6 of the whole thing.
in that 1 hour, how much has the large one done? well, it has only done 1/L of the job.

and you can round that up as needed.
Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph
we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7
</span>
let the distance be d
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>
