A fisherman can row upstream at 4 mph and downstream at 6 mph. He started rowing upstream until he got tired and then rowed downstream to his starting point. The distance of how far the fisherman row if the entire trip took 2 hours is  9.6 miles

<u />

The speed of an object refers to the change of the object's distance within a specified time.

Mathematically, we can have;

\mathbf{Speed =\dfrac{distance}{time}}

Distance = speed × time

From the information given;

  • The fisherman row upstream for 4 miles/ hour.
  • The distance covered by the fisherman = 4 × t₁  ----- (1)

  • The fisherman row downstream at 6 miles/ hour
  • The distance covered by the fisherman = 6 × t₂  ------ (2)

  • SInce it took the entire trip 2 hours, we can infer that:

  • t₁ + t₂ = 2
  • t₂ = 2 - t₁

From equation (2), replace the above value of t₂ into equation (2)

  • d = 6 t₂
  • d = 6(2 - t₁)
  • d = 12 - 6t₁

From equation (1)

  • d = 4 t₁  

Equation both distance together, we have:

  • 12 - 6t₁ = 4t₁
  • 12 = 4t₁ + 6t₁
  • 12 = 10t₁
  • t₁ = 12/10
  • t₁ = 1.2  hours

From t₂ = 2 - t₁

  • t₂ = 2 - 1.2
  • t₂ = 0.8 hours

From d = 4t₁

Replace t₁ with 1.2 hours

  • d = 4(1.2 hours)
  • d = 4.8 miles

Also, from d = 6t₂

  • d = 6(0.8)
  • d = 4.8 miles

Therefore, we can conclude that the distance of how far the fisherman row if the entire trip took 2 hours is (4.8+4.8) miles = 9.6 miles

Answer:

1. x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3

a1 = -7.4

an = an-1 -13.8  (choice 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^4 -x^2 +9

g(x) = x^3 +3x^2 +12

We are subtracting

f(x) -g(x) =x^4 -x^2 +9 - ( x^3 +3x^2 +12)

Distribute the minus sign

x^4 -x^2 +9 -  x^3 -3x^2 -12

I like to line them up vertically

x^4      -x^2 +9

-  x^3 -3x^2 -12

-------------------------

x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3


2.  a1 = -7.4

To find the common difference, take term 2 and subtract term 1

-21.2 - (-7.4)

-21.2 + 7.4

-13.8

an = an-1 -13.8
