Answer:

  • boat: 72 km/h
  • current: 16 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed difference between boat and current is the upstream rate:

  (448 km)/(8 h) = 56 km/h

The sum of speeds of boat and current is the downstream rate:

  (440 km)/(5 h) = 88 km/h

The rate of the boat is half the sum of these:

  (56 +88)/2 = 72 . . . km/h

The rate of the current is half their difference:

  (88 -56)/2 = 16 . . . km/h

The rate of the boat is 72 km/h; the rate of the current is 16 km/h.

For sin2x+cosx=0, use a double-angle or half-angle formula to simplify the equation and then find all solutions of the equation
Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a trignometric equation in x, as

sin2x+cosx=0

TO make it in one trig ratio, we can replace sin2x as 2sinx cosx

WE get now

2sinxcosx+cosx=0\\

cosx(2sinx+1)=0\\cosx=0, sinx =-0.5\\

Principal solution is x=\frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{-\pi}{6}

x = ±π/2 + 2kπ, where k is any integer or

x=±pi/6 +k pi, where k is any integer.

General solution is
