Answer:

  boat speed: (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500)

  stream speed: (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

The boat speed (b) is added to the stream speed (s) going downstream. The stream speed is subtracted going upstream. The given relations tell us ...

  25/(b-s) +44/(b+s) = t

  15/(b-s) +22/(b+s) = 5

This gives us 2 equations in 3 unknowns, so we can only provide a solution in terms of one of the unknowns. Since we are asked for the speeds, they will be provided in terms of t.

Subtracting the first equation from 2 times the second gives ...

  2(15/(b-s) +22/(b+s)) -(25/(b-s) +44/(b+s)) = 2(5) -(t)

  5/(b-s) = 10 -t

  5/(10 -t) = b -s

Substituting for b-s in the second equation gives ...

  15/(5/(10-t)) +22/(b+s) = 5

  30 -3t +22/(b+s) = 5

  22/(b+s) = 3t -25

  22/(3t -25) = b+s

Adding the equations for the sum and difference of speeds, we get ...

  (b-s) +(b+s) = 5/(10-t) +22/(3t -25)

  2b = (5(3t -25) +22(10 -t))/((10-t)(3t-25)) = (95 -7t)/((10-t)(3t-25))

  b = (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500)

Subtracting the equations for sum and difference of speeds, we get ...

  (b+s) -(b-s) = 22/(3t -25) -5/(10 -t)

  2s = (22(10-t) -5(3t -25))/((10-t)(3t-25))

 s = (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500)

__

The speed of the boat in still water is (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500) km/h.

The speed of the stream is (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500) km/h.

__

Note that these solutions only make sense for values of t between 25/3 and 345/37, approximately 8.33 < t < 9.32. For t=9 hours, the boat speed is 8 km/h and the stream speed is 3 km/h.

<h2>Speed of boat in still water</h2><h2>=8km/hr </h2><h2>Speed of stream=3km/hr</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of boat in still water=x km/hr

Speed of stream=y km/hr Speed of upstream=x-y km/hr

Speed of downstream=x+y km/hr

Let 1/(x-y)=a and 1/(x+y)=b

Time to go 25km up and 44 down=9

25a+44b=9----->(1)

Time to go 15km up and 22km down=5

15a+22b=5------>(2)

(2) x 2=> 30a+4463D10- ->(3)

(3)-(1)=>5a=1

a=1/5

1/(x-y)=1/5

x-y=5--->(4)

Putting a=1/5 in (1),

5+44b=9

44b=4

b=1/11

1/(x+y)=1/11

x+y=11---->(5)

(4)+(5)=>2x=16

<h2>x=8</h2>

<h2>y=3</h2>

Find the number of ways of arranging the numbers
Doss [256]

First of all, note that all integers are either 0,1, or 2 modulo 3 (if you're not familiar with this terminology, it means that every integer is either a multiple of 3, or it is 1 or 2 away from a multiple of 3).

So, we can think of our numbers as

\begin{array}{c|c}x&x\mod 3\\0&0\\1&1\\2&2\\3&0\\4&1\\5&2\\6&0\\7&1\\8&2\\9&0\end{array}

In order to make sure that the sum of any three adjacent numbers is divisible by 3, we have to make sure that any group of 3 three adjacent numbers contains a 0, a 1 and a 2. This is possible only if we arrange our 9 numbers in 3 groups of 3 numbers containing 0,1 and 2 exactly once, repeating always the same pattern.

For example, we could arrange our numbers following the pattern

0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2

or

2,0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1

We have 3!=6 possible patterns. Suppose for example that we choose the pattern

0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2

One possible way of following this pattern would be the arrangement

3,1,2,6,4,5,9,7,8

In fact, we substituted every '0' with a multiple of 3 (3, 6 or 9), every '1' with a number 1 away from a multiple of 3 (1, 4 or 7) and every '2' with a number 2 away from a multiple of 3 (2, 5 or 8).

This means that, once we fix a patter, we have 3 choices for the first 3 slots, 2 choices for the next 3 slots, and the final slot will be fixed. So, we have

3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 216

possible ways of following a fixed pattern. Since the number of patterns was 6, we have

216\cdot 6 = 1296

possible arrangements.

F(x) = -3x^2 + 6x. Find f(2).
inysia [295]

Answer:

f(2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the function at x = 2.

f(x) = -3x^2 + 6x

f(2) = -3(2^2) + 6 * 2

f(2) = -3(4) + 12

f(2) = 0

Please answer this really fast.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

abc = - 126

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 3)(3x - 1) ← expand product using FOIL

= 6x² + 7x - 3 ← in standard form

with a = 6, b = 7, c = - 3

Then

abc = 6 × 7 × (- 3) = - 126
