What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Answer: 2mp

Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water

Let "c" represent the speed of the current

Let "t" represent time

Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t

Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t

(b+c)*3=24

(b-c)*4=16

3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8

4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4

Use Elimination method

b+c=8

b-c= 4 Subtracting

=====

2c=4

find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2

if c=2, substitute to get b

b+2=8

 -2=-2

======

b=6

Speed of boat in still water =6mph

rate of current=2mp

Answer:

B. 10    E. 20   C. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 2f

t = 2(f + s)

(15 + 15 + 30 + f + s + t)/6 = 25       This equation and the equations above show how the variables relate to each other

f = 10               The first number is 10

s = 2(10)=20   The second number is 20

t = 2(10 + 20) = 60   The third number is 60

The product of two numbers is 192. what is the minimum value of the sum of the first value plus twice the second value
VARVARA [1.3K]
Let x and y be the two positive numbers. -  Their product is 192: x *  y  =  192   equation 1

-  the sum of the first plus twice the second is a minimum:  x + 2y

<span>From the first equation, y =  192 / x. 
Substitute that into the second equation:
</span>
 x + 2y = x + 2(<span>192/x ) = x + 384/x

</span>f(x) is minimum when f'(x) = 0 and f"(x) > 0 

f(x)= <span>x + 384/x
</span>
f(x) = 1-384/x^2 

<span>1-384  / x^2 =  0 

x^2-384 = 0 

x^ 2= 354
 x = radical  354    = 18.8  here i'm confused why the number is decimal

6 units to the right of 0
kondor19780726 [428]
Im sure this means add because on a number line when you move to the right its adding. And since the amount of units were moving up by is 6 we would add 0+6 which equals 6.
