Answer:

If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.

Let s = the speed of the boat in still water

d = rt

8 = 5(s + 3)  downstream

8 = 5s + 15  equation 1

8 = 5(s - 3)   upstream

8 = 5s - 15    Add equation 1

8 = 5s + 15 

16 = 10s    Divide both sides by 10.

s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph

Katen [24]
Hello!

You put 16 in for u and 4 in for t

v = (16) + 10(4)

Multiply

v = 16 + 40

Add

v = 56

The answer is v = 56

Hope this helps!

How many zeros does the function f(x) = 3x12 − 17x8 + 11x4 − 6x + 23 have?
dem82 [27]
How many zeros does the function f(x) = 3x12 − 17x8 + 11x4 − 6x + 23 have? 

Answer: the third option (12 zeros..). 

Use ^ to denote an exponent.. 

f(x) = 3x^12 - 17x^8 + 11x^4 - 6x + 23.. 


We know from that fact that the number of zeros (real or complex) in a polynomial is the same as the degree of the polynomial.. 

The degree is the greatest/highest power of the terms, which in this case is 12 (since 12 is the greatest exponent..).. 

The degree is 12, thus it means there are 12 zero's.. 


Answer: the third option (12 zero's )...
