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

The speed of an object refers to the change of the object's distance within a specified time.
Mathematically, we can have;

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:
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)
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
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:
p(x) = 0.6x³ - 200x² + 500x- 300
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the cost function and revenue function as:
C(x) = 500x² + 100x
R(x) = -0.6x³ + 700x² – 400x + 300
To get the profit function:
p(x) = C(x) - R(x)
p(x) = 500x² + 100x -(-0.6x³ + 700x² – 400x + 300)
open the parenthesis
p(x) = 500x² + 100x + 0.6x³ - 700x² + 400x - 300
p(x) = + 0.6x³+500x² - 700x² + 100x+ 400x- 300
p(x) = 0.6x³ - 200x² + 500x- 300
Hence the profit function is expressed as p(x) = 0.6x³ - 200x² + 500x- 300
You didn't give any choices, but the equation looks like this: 17 = 2x + 5. Solving that for x tells you that he went on a big water slide 6 times. 2 times 6 plus 5 is the $17 he spent at the park. See how well that works out?
Distribute the .25 to get .25x + 1 - 3 = 28
Then simplify to get .25x - 2 = 28
Move the two to the right to get .25x = 30
Then divide to leave x: 30 / .25 = 120
X = 120
