The speed of the current in a creek is 2 mph. A person can kayak 9 mi upstream in the same time that it takes him to kayak 13 mi downstream. What is the speed of the
person's kayak in still water?

Answers

Answer 1

Let s be the speed of the person's kayak in still water.

Given, speed of current = 2 mph

Upstream distance = 9 miles

Speed of the person upstream = s-2

Time traveled upstream = 9/s-2

Downstream distance = 13 miles

Speed of the person downstream = s+2

Time traveled downstream = 13/s+2

Given,

9/s-2 = 13/s+2

Cross-multiplying,

9*(s+2) = 13*(s-2)

9s + 18 = 13s - 26

Grouping like terms together,

13s-9s = 26+18

4s = 44

s = 11 mph

Speed of person's kayak in still water = 11 mph

Let V=ℝ2 and let H be the subset of V of all points on the line 4x+3y=12. Is H a subspace of the vector space V?

Answers

Answer:

No, it isn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have [tex]V=IR^{2}[/tex] and let [tex]H[/tex] be the subset of [tex]V[/tex] of all points on the line

[tex]4x+3y=12[/tex]

We need to find if [tex]H[/tex] is a subspace of the vector space [tex]V[/tex].

In [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] all the possibilities for own subspace of the vector space [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] are :

[tex]IR^{2}[/tex] itself.The vector [tex]0_{IR^{2}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]All lines in [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] that passes through the origin  (  [tex]0_{IR^{2}}=\left[\begin{array}{c}0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]  )

We know that [tex]H[/tex] is the subset of [tex]IR^{2}[/tex] of all points on the line [tex]4x+3y=12[/tex]

If we look at the equation, the point [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}0&0\end{array}\right][/tex] doesn't verify it because :

[tex]4x+3y=12\\4(0)+3(0)=12\\0=12[/tex]

Which is an absurd. Therefore, [tex]H[/tex] doesn't contain the origin (and [tex]H[/tex] is a line in [tex]IR^{2}[/tex]). Finally, it can't be a vector space of [tex]V=IR^{2}[/tex]

What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below?
-9, -5, -1,3,7,...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence

-9, -5, -1,3,7,...

Is A.P(,airthmetic progression)

So

nth term of an A.P =a+(n-1)d

Where a=first term (-9)

D=difference=(-5)-(-9)=4

So nth term=-9+(n-1)4

A downtown parking garage charges individuals to park a car according to the following rate schedule: $1.00 for the first hour, then $2 for each subsequent hour until the daily maximum charge of $9.00 is reached. These charges are represented in the graph below.

which of the following is true?

Answers

Answer:

In the graph, a white dot means that the value does not belong to the set, while the colored dot means that the value does belong.

Let's analyze each statement (from top to bottom)

1)The x-axis represents the number of hours, and the y-axis the charge.

Then let's find x = 2.

You can see that there is a colored dot at y = $3, and a white dot at y = $5.

Then the price for exactly two hours is $3, not $5.

Then this first statement is wrong.

2) You can assume that 20 minutes is in between x = 0 and x =1, then from that point, you can see that the equivalent value of y is $1. Then the individuals who park only for 20 minutes will be charged with $1,

This statement is wrong.

3) 1 hour and 15 minutes is in between 1 and 2 hours.

And as you can see, for 1 < x ≤ 2, the price is $3. Then this statement is correct.

4) Here we have x > 4.

In the graph you can see that all values of x > 4 are mapped into the black part of the graph, which is equivalent to the maximum charge of $9.

Then this statement is correct.

Use a calculator, spreadsheet, or another tool to solve for the unknown sides of the given right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 12. a is the length of the side opposite the 10 degree angle and b is the length of the opposite angle B. Round your answers to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

2 TIMES 3

The length of the side a and b is 2.0837 and 11.8176 respectively.

Length of side a and b to be determine, hypotenuse is 12 and a is the length of the side opposite the 10 degree angle and b is the length of the opposite angle B.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is branch of mathematics that helps in elevation and angle problems.

Let assume that one angle of triangle is right angle.
So in right angles triangle,
hypotenuse = 12
cos10 =  length of b /12
length of b = 12 cos10
length of b = 11.8176

Now,
sin 10 =length of a/ 12
length of a = 12 sin10
length of a = 2.0837

Thus, the length of the side a and b is 2.0837 and 11.8176 respectively.

The definition of a derivative is "the slope of the tangent line".

Derivatives of constants are 0.

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 3x² - 4x + 2

Step 2: Find 1st Derivative

Basic Power Rule:                    f'(x) = 2·3x²⁻¹ - 1·4x¹⁻¹Simplify:                                    f'(x) = 6x - 4

Step 3: Find tangent slope

Define:                    f'(x) = 6x - 4, x = 2Substitute:              f'(2) = 6(2) - 4Multiply:                  f'(2) = 12 - 4Subtract:                 f'(2) = 8

Step 4: Identify

f'(2) = 8 tells us that at x = 2, the slope of the tangent line is 8.
