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.

Factor the trinomial f(x) = 2x² + 5x – 12 ?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × -12 = - 24 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 8 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 8x - 3x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) ← factor out (x + 4) from each term

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Thus

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 4)(2x - 3) ← in factored form
