a wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a hippopotamus, she paddles 15 km across a lake. She paddles across the lake for one hour longer than she paddled up the river. find the speed of the boat as she paddles the lake if the river current is 2 km/h

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 km/hr or 5 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

In the lake, she goes 15 km at x km/hr (named)

In the river, she goes 6 km at x-2 km/hr (current=2 km/hr)

So, the time in the lake -  the time in the river = 1 hour (given)

15/x - 6/x-2 = 1 --> x=6;x=5

Answer 2

The speed of the boat as the photographer paddles the lake if the river current is 2 km/h is 6 km/hr and this can be determined by forming the quadratic equation.

Given :

A wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km.Then, hoping to photograph a hippopotamus, she paddles 15 km across a lake.She paddles across the lake for one hour longer than she paddled up the river.

According to the given data, if the river current velocity is 2 km/hr then let the speed in the lake be x km/hr. So, the speed of the photographer in the river is (x - 2) km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the boat as she paddles the lake if the river current is 2 km/h is given by:

[tex]\dfrac{15}{x} - \dfrac{6}{x-2}=1[/tex]

Now, simplify the above expression.

[tex]15(x-2)-6(x)=x(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]15x-30-6x=x^2-2x[/tex]

[tex]x^2-11x+30=0[/tex]

Factorize the above equation.

[tex]x^2-6x-5x+30=0[/tex]

x(x - 6) - 5(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6)(x - 5) = 0

x = 6 or 5

Riya looks at the temperature in the kitchen. What is the temperature in the kitchen to the nearest division

Answers

Answer:

24 degree Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature may be defined as the intensity or the degree of heat that is present in any substance or present in the environment. It is the measure of hotness or coldness of any item or surroundings. Temperature is measured with the help of a comparative scale which shows the how hot or cold the place is or item is.

In the context, Riya uses a comparative scale like the thermometer to measure the temperature of the kitchen. The mercury level on the scale rises and stops at a point indicating the temperature of the kitchen.

Thus the temperature of the kitchen according to the scale is [tex]$24 ^ \circ C$[/tex].

What is an integer exponent?

In mathematics, integer exponents are exponents that should be integers. It may be a positive or negative number. In this situation, the positive integer exponents determine the number of times the base number should be multiplied by itself.

It is given that:

The number expression is:

= (1/15)⁷

As we know, from the definition of the integer exponent;  integer exponents are exponents that should be integers. It may be a positive or negative number.

After using the properties of the integer exponent:

= (15⁻¹)⁷

= 15⁻⁷

Thus, the fraction (1/15)⁷ can be written as 15⁻⁷ after using the properties of the integer exponent.

How can you see that a reflection could work without knowing where the line of reflection is? If you get the answer right I'll paypal, venmo or cash app you $50. So drop your paypal, venmo or cash app along with your answer.

Answers

Note how going from R to S to T to U has us going counterclockwise. In contrast, going from R' to S' to T' to U' has us going the opposite direction going clockwise. This change in orientation strongly implies that a reflection has been done. Reflections always flip orientation.

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

Here's how we can find the line of reflection.

Draw a line segment from point R to point R'. Mark the midpoint of the segment as point A

Repeat this process to form a segment from S to S'. Mark the midpoint as point B.

The line of reflection will pass through points A and B. This is because the line of reflection is equally distant between the original point (such as point R) and its reflected point (such as R'). This must mean that the line of reflection goes through the midpoint of segment UU' and also segment TT'.

Matt has 3 different colored T-shirts and 2 different colored shorts

How many outfits can Matt make with these clothes?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 2 = 6

Matt can make 6 different outfits with these clothes.

What are the Combinations?

Combinations are the procedures used in mathematics to pick k things from n different items without replacement.

The following formula computes the combinations of k items from n:

(n, k) = n! / k!×(n-k)!

Given that Matt has 3 different colored T-shirts and 2 different colored shorts.

Matt can make 3 x 2 = 6 different outfits with these clothes.

This is because for each T-shirt color, he has 2 options for shorts, and he has 3 different T-shirt colors.

So for each T-shirt color, the number of outfit combinations is 2. And since he has 3 T-shirt colors, the total number of outfits is 3 x 2 = 6.

a building in the shape of a rectangle is 120 feet long and 90 feet wide. if a fence is to be constructed along te diagonal of the lot, find the length of the fence in feet

Answers

Answer: The length of the fence will be 150 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to find the hypotenuse of a rectangle with a length of 120 feet and a width of 90 feet. To find the hypotenuse we will need to use the formula   a^2 + b^2 = c^2

120 feet will be a

90 feet will be for b  

this is because a and b are the two legs of the rectangle.

120^2 + 90^2 = c^2

14400 + 8100 = c^2

22500 = c^2

   c =√22500

 c= 150

Reflect the figure over the line y= -x -2
pls help no tutors know the answer!!​

Answers

Answer: You'll have a quadrilateral with the following points

(5, -5)(4, -7)(6, -7)(8, -3)

A diagram is posted below.

===================================================

Explanation:

The given quadrilateral has four unmarked points. I'll add the point labels A,B,C,D such that

A = (-3, 3)B = (-5, 2)C = (-5, 4)D = (-1, 6)

I started at the lower right corner and worked my way clockwise.

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

Let's shift the line y = x-2 up two units so that it moves to y = x

We'll need to shift every point of the quadrilateral up two units as well.

So we have these new point locations after the shifting has occurred.

A' = (-3, 5)B' = (-5, 4)C' = (-5, 6)D' = (-1, 8)

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

Now we need to reflect over the diagonal line. The rule to reflect over the line y = x is as simple as swapping the x and y coordinates.

So we can say [tex](x,y) \to (y,x)[/tex]

A point like (-3, 5) moves to (5, -3)

We have these new locations

A'' = (5, -3)B'' = (4, -5)C'' = (6, -5)D'' = (8, -1)

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

The last thing to do is to shift everything down 2 units. This is to undo the first step we did when we shifted everything up by 2 units.

Doing this leads to these locations

A''' = (5, -5)B''' = (4, -7)C''' = (6, -7)D''' = (8, -3)

Check out the diagram below.

A chess club plans to sell water bottles to raise $425
they already have $175
if they sell water bottles for $8 each, at least how many bottles do they need to sell in order raise enough money
which inequality represents the situation

Answers

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

I rounded it down thats it

The equality for this equation is

175 + 8b >/=  425

B = number of bottles required to sell. Now, I don't want to give you the answer but I can assist you in easily finding it. Subtract 175 from both sides

8b >/= 250

Now, divide at from both sides and remove the greater than mark which should mean that in the end it should look like it says

**edited** I mean divide 8 from both sides.

b = ?  

That is the number of bottles they must sell, if it is a decimal, round it up because there is no such thing as a decimal number for selling water bottles.
