A tourist traveled on a motorboat against the current for 25 km. And then returned back on a raft. In the boat the tourist traveled for 10 hours less than on the raft. Find the speed of the current if the speed of the motorboat in still water is 12 km/hour.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x km/h be the speed of the current.

1. A tourist traveled on a motorboat against the current for 25 km (the current interfered), then it took him

[tex]\dfrac{25}{12-x}\ hours.[/tex]

2. Then he returned back on a raft (the speed of the current is the speed of the raft), then it took him

[tex]\dfrac{25}{x}\ hours.[/tex]

3. In the boat the tourist traveled for 10 hours less than on the raft, thus

[tex]\dfrac{25}{12-x}+10=\dfrac{25}{x}.[/tex]

Solve this equation:

[tex]25x+10x(12-x)=25(12-x),\\ \\25x+120x-10x^2=300-25x,\\ \\10x^2-170x+300=0,\\ \\x^2-17x+30=0,\\ \\D=(-17)^2-4\cdot 30=289-120=169,\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-17)\pm\sqrt{169}}{2}=2,\ 15.[/tex]

The speed of the current cannot be greater than the speed of the boat, because then tourist was not able to travel against the current. Thus, the speed of the current is 2 km/h.

Answers

Answer:

The error is:

He multiplied the dividend by 100 instead of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 1.926 ÷ 0.9 ⇒ means

  1.926 = 1926/1000 ⇒ dividend

  0.9 = 9/10 ⇒ divisor

* [tex]\frac{1926}{1000}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{1926}{1000}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{10}{9}[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{1926}{100}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

∵ 1926/100 = 19.26 ⇒ dividend

∴ 19.26 ÷ 9 = 1926/100 ÷ 9

  19 ÷ 9 = 2 with remainder 1/9

  12 ÷ 9 = 1 with remainder 3/9

  36 ÷ 9 = 4 no remainder

∴ The quotient is 214/100 = 2.14

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 150 more passenger cars than trucks on the highway. for every 10 passenger cars there are 7 trucks. how many trucks are on the highway?

Answers

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P = 150 - T where P is passenger cars and T is trucks

10P = 7T ⇔ P = [tex]\frac{7T}{10}[/tex]

Plug in equation 2 into equation 1:

[tex]\frac{7T}{10}[/tex] = 150 - T

Solving for T, we get 500

Answer:

There would be 500 passenger cars and 350 trucks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create a system of equations. Start by making the number of passenger cars as x and the number of trucks at y. Now the first equation can be the difference of the two.

x - y = 150

The second equation can make use of the proportion. If we multiply by the opposites we'll get the difference of 0.

7x - 10y = 0

Now we multiply the first equation by -10 and add together to solve for x.

-10x + 10y = -1500

7x - 10y = 0

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

-3x = -1500

x = 500

Now we can find the amount of trucks by using either equation.

x - y = 150

500 - y = 150

-y = -350

y = 350

Diameter=16mm, so the radius is 8. The formula for volume of a cylinder is the area of the base times height, or v=πr²h.
Substituting the values in, we get π(8²)(5.7), which gives us roughly 1146mm^3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3) volume of cylinder is...

v= πr²h

plug r= 13 and h=16

v=π(13)²(16)v=π(13×13)(16)v=π(169)(16) ← plug π=3.14v=3.14(2704)v=8490.56v=8491mm^3

Step-by-step explanation: If 3 black circles equal 30, we can divide that by 3 and get 10. If 1 black circle and 2 white circles equal 18, we can subtract 10 and get left with 2 white circles worth 8, which means a white circle is 4.

How would I simplify and solve for X in this trigonometric equation? (Radians)
[tex]cos(x+\pi )^{2} = sinx[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Please, refer to the images below

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x in the equation

cos (x+ pi) ^2 = sin (x)

cos (x+ pi) = - cos(x)

(-cos (x)) * (-cos (x)) = sin(x)

cos(x) ^2 = sin(x)

We know that

cos(x) ^2  + sin(x) ^2  = 1

cos(x) ^2 = 1 - sin(x) ^2

1 - sin(x) ^2 = sin(x)

sin(x) ^2 + sin (x) -1 = 0

Let A = sin(x)

A^2 + A - 1 = 0

 Question:

The time required for a skilled worker to produce x shirts is given by the function T(x) = 4x + 2, where T is measured in hours. The salary the she is paid is given by the function S(T) = 15T, where S is measured in dollars.

A. If the worker produces 18 units, what will she be paid?

B. How many units would the worker need to produce to be paid $3,030?

Answers

Answer:

A) The worker is paid S= $ 1110 for producing 18 units.

B) The worker is paid $3,330 for producing x= 50 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) given x = 18 units

Time required T(x) = 4x+2

                               = 4(18)+2

                               = 72 +2

                               = 74 hrs

Amount paid S(T) = 15 T

                             = 15 ( 74) = $ 1110

b) Since S is given, S= $3,030

     S(T)= 15 (T)

     3030 /15= T

     202 hrs= T

Now, we can find x:

  T(x) = 4(x) +2

  202 = 4x + 2

  202-2 = 4x

  200 / 4 =x

  50 = x

so, worker produces 50 units.
