A group of 4 frieds decide to attend a night of dinner and dancing on a cruise ship. The dinner and dance cruise will last 4 hours. The ship travels 18 km upstream and then travels back to the starting point. The river has a current of 2 km an hour. What is the cruise ship's speed and how long was the upstream journey

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the cruise ship relative to the current is approximately 9.424 kilometers per hour.

The cruise ship's will need 2.425 hours for its upstream journey.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time of the cruise ([tex]t[/tex]), in hours, is the sum of the times for the upstream ([tex]t_{u}[/tex]) and downstream journeys ([tex]t_{d}[/tex]), in hours. Let suppose that both river and cruise ship travel at constant velocity, the cruise ship travels against the current in its upstream journey, whereas it is in favor of the current in the downstream journey, meaning that:

[tex]t = t_{u} + t_{d}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v_{S/C} - v_{C}} + \frac{x}{v_{S/C} + v_{C}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]v_{C}[/tex] - Speed of the current, in kilometers per hour.

[tex]v_{S/C}[/tex] - Speed of the cruise ship relative to the current, in kilometers per hour.

If we know that [tex]t = 4\,h[/tex], [tex]x = 18\,km[/tex] and [tex]v_{C} = 2\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex], then we have the following expression:

[tex]4\,h = (18\,km)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{S/C} - 2\,\frac{km}{h} } + \frac{1}{v_{S/C}+2\,\frac{km}{h} }\right)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{9} = \frac{1}{v_{S/C}-2} + \frac{1}{v_{S/C}+2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{9} = \frac{2\cdot v_{S/C}}{v_{S/C}^{2}-4}[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot v_{S/C}^{2} - 8 = 18\cdot v_{S/C}[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot v_{S/C}^{2}-18\cdot v_{S/C}-8 = 0[/tex]

The roots of the second order polynomial are, respectively:

[tex]v_{S/C,1} \approx 9.424\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{S/C,2} \approx -0.424\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]. Since the speed is the magnitude of the velocity, a realistic solution must be a positive quantity and the solution is:

[tex]v_{S/C} \approx 9.424\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex]

The speed of the cruise ship relative to the current is approximately 9.424 kilometers per hour.

And the time needed for the upstream journey is:

[tex]t_{u} = \frac{x}{v_{S/C}- v_{C}}[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]x = 18\,km[/tex], [tex]v_{S/C} \approx 9.424\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex] and [tex]v_{C} = 2\,\frac{km}{h}[/tex], then time for the upstream journey is:

[tex]t_{u} = \frac{18\,km}{9.424\,\frac{km}{h}-2\,\frac{km}{h} }[/tex]

[tex]t_{u} = 2.425\,h[/tex]

The cruise ship's will need 2.425 hours for its upstream journey.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B, because if you look at the graph it’s in between 0 and 1, and the number in between them is 0.5. Also it doesn’t move down or up so it would also be 0.

Answer: So the answer is (0.5, 0).

Which expression defines the arithmetic series 1 + 5 + 9 + ... for seven terms?
Σ(27-1)
Σ(3n-4)
Σ(4n-3)
Σ(n-1)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sum\limits^7_{n=1}(4n - 3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]1 + 5 + 9 + .....[/tex]

Required

Write a definition

First, we derive a formula for the series using:

[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1)d[/tex]

From the attached data;

[tex]a = 1[/tex]

[tex]d = 5 - 1 = 4[/tex]

So:

[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1)d[/tex]

[tex]T_n = 1 + (n - 1) * 4[/tex]

[tex]T_n = 1 + 4n - 4[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]T_n = 4n - 4+1[/tex]

[tex]T_n = 4n -3[/tex]

So, the definition for first 7 terms is:

[tex]\sum\limits^7_{n=1}(4n - 3)[/tex]

What are the values for q that will make the equation true |4q+12|=4

Answers

Hi there! Solving the absolute value equation is like solving a quadratic equation.

[tex] \large{ |x| = a \longrightarrow x = \pm a}[/tex]

[tex] \large{ |x| = \begin{cases} x \: \: \: (x \geqslant 0) \\ - x \: \: \: (x < 0) \end{cases}}[/tex]

From the absolute equation:

[tex] \large{ |4q + 12| = 4}[/tex]

Cancel the absolute symbol and write plus-minus of 4.

[tex] \large{4q + 12 = \pm 4}[/tex]

Solve the equation for q-term.

[tex] \large{4q = \begin{cases} 4 - 12 \\ - 4 - 12 \end{cases}} \\ \large{4q = \begin{cases} - 8 \\ - 16 \end{cases}} \\ \large{q = \begin{cases} - \frac{8}{4} \\ - \frac{16}{4} \end{cases}} \\ \large{q = \begin{cases} - 2 \\ - 4 \end{cases}}[/tex]

Hence, the value of q are -2,-4

Answer

q = -2,-4

What should be done to solve the following equation? d - 5 = 3

Answers

Answer:

d=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly you need to get d by itself. To get d by itself you need to get 5 onto the other side. To do that you need to add 5 to 3 (because adding is the opposite of addition). Therefore you will get 8! So d = 8

Answer:

add 5 both sides making it

d=5+3

solve 5+3

=8

in an inverse variation, x=2 when y=-4. what is the value of y when x=16

Answers

Answer:

y = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the inverse variation equation, y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex]

Plug in 2 as x and -4 as y, then solve for k:

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex]

-4 = [tex]\frac{k}{2}[/tex]

-8 = k

So, the equation is y = [tex]\frac{-8}{x}[/tex]

Plug in 16 as x and solve for y:

y = [tex]\frac{-8}{x}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{-8}{16}[/tex]

y = -1/2

So, when x = 16, y = -1/2
