Step-by-step explanation:
We have (x + y)² = (x + y)(x + y) = x² + 2xy + y².
Let x be 3a and y be 2.5b.
Therefore (3a + 2.5b)²
= (3a)² + 2(3a)(2.5b) + (2.5b)²
= 9a² + 15ab + 6.25b².
Hence the '*' sign should be replaced with 15ab.
Solve for the two velocities:
with the current = 48/6 = 8 mph
against the current = 48/8 = 6 mph
bv= boat velocity in still water
cv = current velocity
A) bv -cv = 6mph
B) bv + cv = 8mph
Adding both equations
2 * bv = 14 mph
boat velocity = 7 mph
current velocity = 1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:
For a wave y = A sin(Bx + C) + D, the midline is y = D.
In this case, the midline is y = 0.
