A boat travels 12 km upstream and 40 km downstream in 8 hours. It can go 16 km upstream and 32 km downstream in the same time. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream.

Answers

Answer 1

the speed of the boat is 5.418 km/h and the speed of the stream is 2.167 km/h

Let's define the variables:

B = speed of the boat in still water.

S = speed of the stream.

When the boat travels downstream, the total speed of the boat will be equal to the sum of the speed of the stream and the speed of the boat in still water:

speed = B + S

When the boat goes downstream, the speed will be:

speed = B - S

Now, also remember the relation:

speed*time = distance.

The given information is:

In 8 hours the boat can:

go 12 km upstream and 40km downstream.

We now need to define another variable, T, as the time that the boat travels upstream.

Then we can write this as:

12km = (B - S)*T

If the boat travels T hours upstream, and travels for a total of 8 hours, then the amount of time that travels downstream is 8h - T, then we can write:

40km = (S + B)*(8h - T)

Similarly, when we have:

"it can go 16 km upstream and 32 km downstream in the same time."

we can define a new variable T', and write:

16km = (B - S)*T'

32km = (S + B)*(8h - T')

Then we have a system of 4 equations:

16km = (B - S)*T'

32km = (S + B)*(8h - T')

40km = (S + B)*(8h - T)

12km = (B - S)*T

And we need to solve this for S and B.

To do it, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

Let's isolate T in the last equation:

T = 12km/(B - S)

now we can replace that in the third equation to get:

40km = (S + B)*(8h - 12km/(B - S))

So now we have 3 equations:

16km = (B - S)*T'

32km = (S + B)*(8h - T')

40km = (S + B)*(8h - 12km/(S - B))

Now we need to do the same thing, this time let's isolate T' in the first equation and replace it in the second one:

T' = 16km/(B - S)

Replacing it in the second equation we get:

32km = (S + B)*(8h - T')

32km = (S + B)*(8h - 16km/(B - S))

So now we have two equations:

40km = (S + B)*(8h - 12km/(B - S))

32km = (S + B)*(8h - 16km/(B - S))

Let's simplify these:

40km = 8h*(S + B) - 12km*(S + B)/(B - S)

32km = 8h*(S + B) - 16km*(S+ B)/(B - S)

Now we can multiply both equations by (B - S) to get:

40km*(S - B) = 8h*(S + B)*(B - S) - 12km*(S + B)

32km*(S - B) = 8h*(S + B)*(B - S) - 16km*(S+ B)

Let's keep simplifying this:

40km*(B - S) + 12km*(S + B) =  8h*(S + B)*(B - S)

32km*(B - S)  + 16km*(S+ B) = 8h*(S + B)*(B - S)

Now we get:

52km*B - 28km*S = 8h*(S^2 + B^2)

48km*B - 16km*S = 8h*(S^2 + B^2)

Notice that the right side of these equations is the same thing, then we can write:

52km*B - 28km*S = 48km*B - 16km*S

(52km - 48km)*B = (28km - 18km)*S

4km*B  =  10km*S

B = (10/4)*S

B = (5/2)*S

Now we can replace this in one of our two equations, let's use the first one:

48km*B - 16km*S = 8h*(S^2 + B^2)

48km*(5/2)*S - 16km*S = 8h*( S^2 + ( (5/2)*S)^2)

Now we can solve this for S

104km*S = 8h*( S^2 + 25/4*S^2)

104km*S = 8h*(29/4*S^2) = 48h*S^2

104km*S = 48h*S^2

dividing at both sides by S we get:

104km = 48h*S

104km/48h = S = 2.167 km/h

And using B = (5/2)*S

We can find the speed of the boat:

B = (5/2)*2.167 km/h = 5.418 km/h

Then:

the speed of the boat is 5.418 km/h and the speed of the stream is 2.167 km/h

Solve the system of equations shown below.

Answers

Answer:

(6, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 6y = - 12 → (1)

x + 2y = 14 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate x

- 2x - 4y = - 28 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

- 10y = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 10 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x - 6(4) = - 12

2x - 24 = - 12 ( add 24 to both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

solution is (6, 4 )

The system of linear equations x – y + 2 = 0 and 2x + y -14 = 0​

Answers

Answer:

(4, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

x - y + 2 = 0 ( subtract - y + 2 from both sides )

x = y - 2 → (1)

2x + y - 14 = 0 → (2)

Substitute x = y - 2 into (2)

2(y - 2) + y - 14 = 0 ← distribute and simplify left side

2y - 4 + y - 14 = 0

3y - 18 = 0 ( add 18 to both sides )

3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1) for corresponding value of x

x = 6 - 2 = 4

solution is (4, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The locus of points in a plane equidistant between (-5, -6) and (-5, 7) is describe by the Line. so option A is correct.

What is a line segment?

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either ends).

We know that the graph of x = 5 is the vertical line through 5 on the x-axis. Two points on this line are (-5, -6) and (-5, 7).

We form a horizontal line through (0,1) and (1,1). This is the locus of points equidistant between (-5, -6) and (-5, 7)

We have parallel lines like this, the locus of points equidistant from the two lines is always one single line, and it's the middle line as described above.

This applies to diagonal parallel lines as well, and vertical parallel lines.

Hence, The locus of points in a plane equidistant between (-5, -6) and (-5, 7) is describe by the Line. so option A is correct.

The divisibility rule for 7 says 10a + b is a multiple of 7 if only and only if a - 2b is a multiple of 7

Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well I can show you by example. Try 28

a = 2

b = 8

2 - 2*8 = 2 - 16 = -14

- 14 is divisible by 7. You get - 2.

That means that 28 is also divisible by 8

We'll try one more. Try 56

a = 5

b = 6

5 - 2*6 = 5 - 12 = - 7

- 7 is divisible by 7 so 56 must be as well. What I'm wondering is if the rule in some form works for 735 and if it does how?

a = 73

b = 5

73 - 10 = 63

63 is divisible by 7 (giving 9)

so 10*73 + b is divisible by 7.

Try something a bit harder.

115444

a = 11544

b = 4

a - 2*4

11544 - 8

11536 / 7

1648 which works perfectly.

115444 is divisible by 28 which is a multiple of 7

Factor: 2a^3 + 4a^2 + 8a

1) The factorization is: [tex]2a(a^2 + 2a + 4)[/tex]2) The factorization is: [tex]6y^2(y - 7)(y + 7)[/tex]3) The factorization is: [tex]5(x+5)^2[/tex]

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

To factor each expression, we apply the given concepts, that is, greatest common factor, difference of squares and perfect squares.

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

Expression 1:

The expression is:

[tex]2a^3 + 4a^2 + 8a[/tex]

First, we find the gcf of the numbers 2, 4 and 8, which is 2.

Of the exponents, the gcf between 3, 2 and 1 is 1, so:

[tex]2a^3 + 4a^2 + 8a = 2a(\frac{2a^3}{2a} + \frac{4a^2}{2a} + \frac{8a}{2a}) = 2a(a^2 + 2a + 4)[/tex]

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

Expression 2:

The expression is:

[tex]6y^4 - 294y^2[/tex]

The gcf of 6 and 294 is 6.

The gcf of the exponents 2 and 4 is 4.

Thus:

[tex]6y^4 - 294y^2 = 6y^2(\frac{6y^4}{6y^2} - \frac{294y^2}{6y^2}) = 6y^2(y^2 - 49)[/tex]

Then, applying the difference of squares:

[tex]y^2 - 49 = (y - 7)(y + 7)[/tex]

Thus, the factored expression is:

[tex]6y^2(y^2 - 49) = 6y^2(y - 7)(y + 7)[/tex]

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

Expression 3:

The expression is:

[tex]5x^2 + 50x + 125[/tex]

The gcf of the coefficients, 5, 50 and 125 is 5, so:

[tex]5(\frac{5x^2}{5} + \frac{50x}{5} + \frac{125}{5}) = 5(x^2 + 10x + 25)[/tex]

Applying the perfect square, we get that:

[tex]x^2 + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)^2[/tex]

Tus, the factored expression is:

[tex]5(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 5(x+5)^2[/tex]

Your classmate is unsure about how to use side lengths to determine the type of triangle. How would you explain this to your classmate?

Answers

1) Equilateral Triangles: These triangles have the same side length and same angle for all sides. Knowing this, if the side lengths given are all the same, the triangle will be classified as an equilateral triangle.

2) Isosceles Triangles: These triangles have two sides that have the same side length and one that is not the same. Given this, if the side lengths are all given, the triangle with two same sides are classified as isosceles triangle.

3) Scalene Triangles: These triangles have all sides associated with a different value. If all side lengths are given and they have different values, this triangle would classify as a scalene triangle.



Hope this helped :)

Answer:

To determine the type of triangle using side lengths, you could use the converse of the Phythagorean theorem, acute triangle inequality theorem, and the obtuse inequality theorem. For example, if the square of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, than its obtuse. And if the square of the longest side is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then it would be acute. And if the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides, then it would be a right triangle.
