Answer: 7 miles/h and 1 miles/h

Step-by-step explanation:

With the speed of current = x + 1

Against the speed of current = x - 1

ATQ

4(x-1) = 3(x+1)

4x-4 = 3x+3

4x - 3x = 3+4

x = 7

Speed of boat = 7miles/h

Current of river = 1 miles/h

Answer:

Hello,

Boat speed=7 miles/h

Current speed = 1 mile/h

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to try to explain.

Let say V the speed of the boot (V like vitesse in french)

Let say v the speed of the current.

distance=24 miles

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}V-v&=&\dfrac{24}{4} \\V+v&=&\dfrac{24}{3} \\\end{array}\right.\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}V-v&=&6 \\V+v&=&8 \\\end{array}\right.\\\\Adding\ the\ 2\ equations\ and\ substracting\ them \\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2V&=&14 \\2v&=&2 \\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}V&=&7 \\v&=&1 \\\end{array}\right.\\\\

Boat speed=7 miles/h

Current speed = 1 mile/h

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2^x\ln 2

Step-by-step explanation:

**This is a non-linear function and therefore <u>does not have a constant rate of change</u>.  It will have a different slope depending on what points you use in the average rate of change formula:\mathsf{average \ rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{change \ in \ y}{change \ in \ x}}

To calculate rate of change, differentiate.

substitute y for f(x):  

\implies y=2^x

Take natural logs of both sides:

\implies \ln y=\ln 2^x

Apply the log rule  \ln a^b=b \ln a :

\implies \ln y=x\ln 2

Differentiate with respect to x:

\implies \dfrac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx}=\ln 2

Mulitply both sides by y:

\implies \dfrac{dy}{dx}=y\ln 2

Replace y with y=2^x

\implies \dfrac{dy}{dx}=2^x\ln 2

Therefore, rate of change of the function is :

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2^x\ln 2

The radius of a circle is 4 feet. What is the circle's area? Use 3.14 for ​.
Serga [27]

Answer:

Approximately 50 square feet (50.24 to be exact)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're using 3.14 for π, and the area of a circle is A=πr2,

(3.14)(4)^2 =?

(3.14)(16) = 50.24

Therefore the answer would be about 50 square feet.

Write each fraction as an expression with negative exponents.
Artemon [7]
The answer is w⁻²/v⁻².

v/w raised to the second power is (v/w)²

(v/w)² = v²/w²

Since xᵃ = 1/x⁻ᵃ, then v²/w² = 1/v⁻²w²

Since 1/xᵃ = x⁻ᵃ, then 1/v⁻²w² = w⁻²/v⁻²
