It takes a boat 2 hours to go 16 miles downstream with the current and 4 hours to return against the current. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

Answers

Answer 1

let's recall that d = rt, or namely distance = rate * time.

b = speed of the boat

c = speed of the current

now, we know that going downstream the boat went 16 miles total, that's going only one way, so the distance the boat travels downstream as well as upstream to return is 16 miles flat.

when going downstream, the boat is not really going at "b" speed, is really going at "b + c" speed, because the current is adding its speed to it, so is really going faster than "b".

when going upstream, the boat is not really going at "b" speed" either, is really going slower at "b - c" speed, because the current is against it and thus subtracting speed from "b".

let's take a look at those in a table

[tex]\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Downstream&16&b+c&2\\ Upstream&16&b-c&4 \end{array}\qquad \qquad \begin{cases} 16=(b+c)(2)\\\\ 16=(b-c)(4) \end{cases} \\\\\\ \stackrel{16}{(b+c)(2)}~~ = ~~\stackrel{16}{(b-c)(4)}\implies 2b+2c~~ = ~~4b-4c\implies 2c=2b-4c[/tex]

[tex]6c=2b\implies \cfrac{6c}{2}=b\implies \boxed{3c=b} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{16~~ = ~~(\stackrel{b}{3c}+c)(2)}\implies 16=4c(2)\implies 16=8c \\\\\\ \cfrac{16}{8}=c\implies \blacktriangleright \stackrel{mph}{2}=c \blacktriangleleft~\hspace{10em}3(2)=b\implies \blacktriangleright \stackrel{mph}{6}=b \blacktriangleleft[/tex]

The area of a rectangular piece of metal is 1,984 square centimeters. The perimeter is 188 centimeters. What are the dimensions of the piece?

Answers

Answer:

There are 2 options:

x = 32 cm and y = 62 cmx = 62 cm and y = 32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

That's a rectangular piece, therefore let's consider the width to be x and the length to be y.

A = width * length

1) A = x * y = 1,984 cm^2

P = 2 * (width) + 2 * (length)

2) P = 2x + 2y = 188 cm

Isolate x or y in one of the equations.

xy = 1,984 cm^2

y = 1,984 cm^2 / x

Now plug it in the second equation.

2x + 2y = 188 cm

2x + 2 * (1,984 / x) = 188

Now we have only one variable. Now just solve it alegebraically.

2x + (3,968 / x) = 188

Multiply both sides by x in order to get rid of the fraction.

[tex]2x^{2}[/tex] + 3968 = 188 x

Substract both sides by 188 x

2x^2 + 3968 - 188x = 0

Now divide by 2 to make the equation simpler.

x^2 - 94x + 1984 = 0

use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\frac{94 + \sqrt{(-94)^2 - 4(1)(1984)} }{2(1)} = 62\\\frac{94 - \sqrt{(-94)^2 - 4(1)(1984)} }{2(1)} = 32[/tex]    

  [tex]x1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\x2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

x is either 62 or 32.

let's find y:

y = 1,984 / x

y = 1,984 / 62 = 32

y = 1,984 / 32 = 62

There are 2 options:

x = 32 cm and y = 62 cmx = 62 cm and y = 32 cm

Answer:

y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to find this equation:

The first way:  We have: y = ax + b (this is the line, right?)

The line is through the point (-2, 1) so we have:

1 = (-2)a + b      (1)

The line is also through the point (2, 9) so we have:

9 = 2a + b.       (2)

From (1) and (2) we get a equals 2, b equals 5. Then:
y = 2x + 5

The second way:

Let A(-2, 1) and B(2, 9), then AB = (4, 8).

=> The normal vector of this line is n = (-2, 1).

The line that is through the points A(-2, 1) and B(2, 9), and has the normal vector n=(-2, 1) has the equation:

[tex]-2(x - 2) + 1(y - 9) = 0[/tex]

[tex]-2x + y - 5 =0\\ < = > y = 2x + 5[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Point [tex]A[/tex] is at [tex](-1/2,\, -2)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersection [tex](x,\, y)[/tex] of two lines in a plane could be found by solving a linear system of two unknowns ([tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]) and two equations (one for each line.)

In this question, the equation of the two lines are [tex]y = 4\, x[/tex] and [tex]y = -2[/tex], respectively. The corresponding system of equations would be:

[tex]\left\lbrace \begin{aligned} & y = 4\, x \\ & y = -2\end{aligned} \right.[/tex].

Solve this system for [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]:

[tex]y = (-2)[/tex].Substitute [tex]y = (-2)[/tex] into the first equation and solve for [tex]x\![/tex]: [tex]x = (-1/2)[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]\left\lbrace \begin{aligned} & x = -\frac{1}{2} \\ & y = -2\end{aligned} \right.[/tex].

Thus, the coordinates of this intersection [tex](x,\, y)[/tex] would be [tex](-1/2,\, -2)[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

∠B = 70 and ∠C = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is not loading for me but with isosceles triangles there will two angles that are the same and one different angle.

All the angles will add up to equal 180 degrees.

In this case the different angle would angle C as the two same lines meet at that point.

From this you can that angle A and B are the same, both 70, so angle C would be:

180 (all the angles of a triangle added together) - 70 - 70 = 40

I'm assuming that x and y are angles B and C as they are not stated so they would be: ∠B = 70 and ∠C = 40.

please work it out and clear. who ever answer give them brainlest answer​

Answers

Answer:

a) x = 12  y = 9

b) x = -2   y = -4

c) x = 6   y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Equation 1:  6x - 7y = 9

Equation 2:  3x + 2y = 54

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 6x + 4y = 108

Subtract equations:

   6x + 4y = 108

-    6x - 7y = 9      

           11y = 99

Divide both sides by 11:

⇒ y = 9

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 6x - 7(9) = 9

⇒ 6x - 63 = 9

⇒ 6x = 72

⇒ x = 12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b)

Equation 1:  4x - 5y = 12

Equation 2:  2x - 3y = 8

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 4x - 6y = 16

Subtract equations:

   4x - 6y = 16

-   4x - 5y = 12      

           -y = 4

Divide both sides by -1:

⇒ y = -4

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 5(-4) = 12

⇒ 4x + 20 = 12

⇒ 4x = -8

⇒ x = -2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c)

Equation 1:  4x - 2y = 28

Equation 2:  3x + 3y = 12

Multiply Equation 1 by 3:

⇒ 12x - 6y = 84

Multiply Equation 2 by 4:

⇒ 12x + 12y = 48

Subtract equations:

     12x - 6y = 84

-   12x + 12y = 48  

            -18y = 36

Divide both sides by -18:

⇒ y = -2

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 2(-2) = 28

⇒ 4x + 4 = 28

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 6

Sort all of the following triangle side lengths into if each set would form a right, acute, or obtuse triangle.

Answers

Answer:

  acute, acute, obtuse*, right, obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is used as a reference for classifying triangles from their side lengths. If the sum of the squares of the short sides is equal to the square of the long side, then the triangle is a right triangle. If the long side is too short, then triangle is acute. If the long side is too long, the triangle is obtuse.

__

The math can be tedious, so it is convenient to let a spreadsheet do it. The results are attached.

The first two triangles are acute; the 4th one is a right triangle, and the remaining two are obtuse.

_____

Additional comment

* Note that triangle #3, with side lengths 2, 4, 6, is classified as "obtuse" because the largest angle is greater than 90°. In fact, with those side lengths, the largest angle is 180°. Some would argue it isn't a triangle at all because its area is 0 and it looks like a line segment.

(Our spreadsheet doesn't care if the triangle inequality is not satisifed. It is only concerned with the Pythagorean theorem.)
