speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Answer:

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.

speed down the river is:

speed=distance/time

speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:

speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr

thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:

x+y=7...i

x-y=4.......ii

adding the above equations i and ii we get:

2x=11

x=5.5 mi/hr

thus

y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r

thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

×imagine this is a flattened pyramid box. When you fold along the dotted lines you can see which sides are equivalent.

Add up the areas of each piece.

Two identical rectangular pieces 7 × 10
2(7)(10) = 140

One small rectangular piece 6 × 7
7(6) = 42

Two identical triangles
2(0.5)(6)(8) = 48

Add up all the pieces
140 + 42 + 48 = 230

I'm not sure what you are looking for but I'll answer this question based on what I think is needed.

Given:
Day 1: 130 
Day 2: 130 x 4 = 520
Day 3: 520 x 4 = 2,080

The exponential equation of this problem is:
V(n) = 130(4)^n

Where n is the number of days since the video was first shown.

Let us assume that 10 days have past. Total view would be:

V(n) = 130(4)^n

V(10) = 130(4)^10
V(10) = 130(1,048,576)
V(10) = 136,314,880

After 10 days, there are more than 136 Million views of the viral video.
