To find the time Jack takes to cross Swan Lake, his average speed is required:

The time it will take Jack to cross Swam Lake is <u>0.5 hours</u>

Reason:

Time it took Jack to paddle 6.4 km upstream, t = 2 hours

Distance Jack paddled, d = 6.4 km

The given speed of the Black River, <em>v₂</em> = 1.8 km/h

The width of the lake, w = 2.5 km

The time it will take Jack to cross Swan Lake

Let <em>v₁</em>, represents Jack's speed, we have;

v_1 - v_2 = \dfrac{d}{t}

Therefore;

v_1 - 1.8 = \dfrac{6.4}{2} = 3.2

v₁ = 3.2 + 1.8 = 5

  • Jack's speed, v₁ = 5 km/h

Time \ to \ cross \  the \ lake , \ t_S = \dfrac{w}{v_1}

t_S = \dfrac{2.5 \, km}{5 \, km/h}  = 0.5 \, hr.

The time it will take Jack to cross Swan Lake, t_S = <u>0.5 hours</u>

Elimination:

7x - 3y = 20
5x + 3y = 16
(add)
12x = 36
÷ 12
x = 3

(5 × 3) + 3y = 16
15 + 3y = 16
- 15
3y = 1
÷ 3
y = 1/3

Substitution:

5x + 3y = 16
- 3y
5x = 16 - 3y
÷ 5
x = 3.2 - 0.6y

5(3.2 - 0.6y) + 3y = 16
16 - 3y + 3y = 16
16  = 16
- 16
6y = 0
÷ 6
y = 0

Sorry the substitution messed up for some reason, I'll fix it after I've answered the other question

Calculus question....does anyone know how to solve this?
iogann1982 [59]
h(x)=(f\circ g)(x)
\sqrt{x+5}=\sqrt{g(x)+2}
x+5=g(x)+2
g(x)=x+3

Just to check this is correct:

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+3)=\sqrt{(x+3)+2}=\sqrt{x+5}=h(x)
