Answer: the speed of the current is 0.6 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the current.
James is kayaking. He can row 3 mph in still water. If he can travel 6 miles downstream. Assuming he went with the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 + x)
Time = distance/speed
Time taken to travel downstream is
6/(3 + x)
In the same amount of time, he can travel 4 miles upstream. Assuming he went against the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 - x). Time taken to travel upstream is
4/(3 - x)
Since the time is the same, then
6/(3 + x) = 4/(3 - x)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
6(3 - x) = 4(3 + x)
18 - 6x = 12 + 4x
4x + 6x = 18 - 12
10x = 6
x = 6/10
x = 0.6 mph
It is impossible as 8 is bigger than 7 and you can’t take it away ur welcome
Answer:
Find out the what is the eighth term in the arithmetic sequence defined by the explicit formula.

To prove
As given the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence .

Put n = 8



Therefore the eighth term in the arithmetic sequence is 23 .
(y_final-y_start)/(x_final-x_start) always! :) that easy
(-6-2)/(2-0) = -4
You probably know that if the interval was pretty small, between 0 and 0.0001, it would take you to the concept of slope and derivatives, but average change is just ignoring anything in between x=0, and x=2 (it could go up/down million times, and still the answer would be -4)
hope it helps
