Jack rides in a motorboat against a river current for 36 km. Then he returns to his starting point by floating down river on a raft.Tommy travels 9 hours less on the motorboat than on the raft. Find the speed of the river current if the speed of the motorboat in still water is 15 km/h.

Answers

Answer 1

The speed of the river current if the speed of the motorboat in still water is 15 km/h is 3 km/h.

Speed

Let x be the speed of the current in km/h units

Speed of the boat traveling against the current= (15-x) km/h

Time spent traveling 36 miles against the current=36/15-x hours

Time spent rafting36miles (with the current) =35/x hours

Equation=36/x-36/15-x=9

Multiply both sides by x×(15-x)

36×(15-x) - 36x = 9x×(15-x)

540 - 36x - 36x=135x-9x²

9x²-207x+540=0

x²-23x+60=0

(x-3)×(x-30) = 0

Roots are x= 3 and  x= 30

Since 15-x must be positive, the only root x = 3 survives

Hence:

Speed =3 km/h

Inconclusion the speed of the river current if the speed of the motorboat in still water is 15 km/h is 3 km/h.

Two soup cans p and q are right circular cylinders. each can has the same height, 5 inches, but the radius of can p is 2 inches, and the radius of can q is 4 inches. how many times larger is the volume of can q than the volume of can p?

Answers

Answer: B. 4

Sorry for the really late answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If the radius of a right circular cylinder is multiplied by k, and its height does not change, then the volume of the cylinder is multiplied by k². The radius of can Q is twice as great as the radius of can p. Therefor, the volume of can Q is 2², or 4 times larger than the volume of can p.

How many pairs of corresponging angles are formed when a transeversal is cut by 2 parallel lines?

Answers

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 pairs of corresponding angles are formed when a transversal is cut by 2 parallel lines,

What are parallel lines?

Parallel lines are the lines that do not intersect or meet each other at any point in a plane.

They are always parallel and are at equidistant from each other. Parallel lines are non-intersecting lines.

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.

The angles are called corresponding angles. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.

When a line is cut by a transversal, 4 angles are formed,

2 angles are >=90° while 2 are <=90°

So when we take 2 parallel lines, 4 pairs are formed.

Hence, there are 4 pairs of corresponding angles are formed when a transversal is cut by 2 parallel lines,

-2(11-12)=-4(1-6x)​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(11-12)=-4(1-6x)​ becomes -2(-1) = -4(1 - 6x)

Next, we divide both sides by -2, obtaining -1 = 2(1 - 6x), and then

                                                                        -1 = 2 -12x, or

                                                                         -3 = -12x

Simplifying this result, we get 1 = 4x, or x = 1/4

We conclude that -2(11-12)=-4(1-6x)​ has ONE solution, which is x = 1/4

Answers

The correct statement regarding the function plotted in the graph is:

C) The maximum value of the quadratic function occurs at y = 4.

What is the rate of change of the linear function?

When x = 0, y = -7, and when x = -5, y = 8, hence the rate of change(change in y divided by change in x) is given by:

R = [8 - (-7)]/-5 - 0 = 15/-5 = -3

What is the maximum value of the quadratic function?

It is concave down, hence it has only a maximum value at y = 4 and not a minimum value, hence option C is correct.

Answers

The 3,572.1 m³ volume of the hexagon and the 19 m. length of the cars and 3-m connector, gives;

Yes, two cars connected by a 3 meter connector can pass through the tunnel at the same time

How can the capacity of the tunnel be found?

From a similar question, we have;

Side length of the hexagon = 8.1 m

Perpendicular distance from the center to a side of the hexagon = 7 m.

Therefore;

Cross sectional area of the hexagon, A is found as follows;

A = 6 × 0.5 × 7 × 8.1 = 170.1

Length of the tunnel, D = 3572.1 ÷ 170.1 = 21

D = 21 meters

Length of two cars and a connector, L = 8 + 8 + 3 = 19

The tunnel length, D = 21 m. is longer than the length of two cars and the connector, L = 19 m.

Therefore;

Two cars connected by a 3 meter connector can pass through the tunnel at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

**Not 100% sure about this answer, but I think it's right.**

Calculation Steps:

Solving for rate r as a decimal

r = n[(A/P)^1/^nt - 1]

r = 1 × [(668.00/359.80)^1/^(1)^(5) - 1]

r = 0.131731

Hei has $1,400 in a retirement account earning 4% interest compounded annually. Each year after the first, she makes additional deposits of $1,400. After 5 years, what was her account balance if she did not make any withdrawals? Round each year's interest to the nearest cent if necessary. HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer:

$7886.16

Step-by-step explanation:

If the balance increases by 4%, it will be 104% of the original amount.  104% as a decimal is 1.04.  Therefore, to calculate the balance with annual compound interest applied, multiply the balance of the account by 1.04 each year.

As Hei makes additional deposits of $1,400 for each year after the 1st year, add $1,400 to the account balance from year 2 onwards before adding the interest.

Let A = account balance

After 1 year

A = 1400 × 1.04 = $1456

After 2 years

A = (1456 + 1400) × 1.04 = $2970.24

After 3 years

A = (2970.24 + 1400) × 1.04 = $4545.05

After 4 years

A = (4545.05 + 1400) × 1.04 = $6182.85

After 5 years

A = (6182.85 + 1400) × 1.04 = $7886.16

Therefore, after 5 years her account balance will be $7886.16

That was the challenge behind Nike Goddess, whose goal was to change how the company designed for, sold, and communicated with women.In its 30-year history, Nike had become the undisputed leader in sports marketing. But beneath the success was an Achilles heel. Nike is named after a woman the Greek goddess of victory but for most of its history, the company had been perceived as being mostly about men. Could Nike do more to realize the full potential of female customers? And how could it afford not to, given the threats to its future with Air Jordan running out of air and brands like Skechers digging into the teen market with shoes inspired by skateboarding, not basketball. That was the huge question at Nike HQ. The launch of Nike Goddess was the makings of an answer.Just Doing It DifferentlyFor much of its history, Nikes destiny was controlled by its founders, Phil Knight and his running buddies, who signed up athletes in locker rooms and made the executive decisions. But by throwing together a diverse team of people with different backgrounds and different levels of seniority, Nike has found that it can keep many of its core attributes while adding new sources of inspiration. Take the combination of star designer John Hoke and newcomer Mindy Grossman, vice president of global apparel. Hoke designed the look and feel of the first Nike Goddess store. Then Grossman, whose career has included helping make Ralph Lauren into a retail icon, pitched1 the design ideas to Nikes top retailers as stores within stores. Now it looks like Nike has a chance to reach a crucial objective: double its sales to women by the end of the decade.How to Sell to WomenNike Goddess began as a concept for a women-only store, and theres a reason why. Many of the retail settings in which the companys products were found were a turnoff to female customers: dark, loud, and harsh in a word, male. In sharp contrast, the Nike Goddess stores have the comforting feel of a womans own home.How to Design for WomenDesigning a new approach to retail was only one element in Nikes campaign. Another was redesigning the shoes and clothes themselves. Nikes footwear designers worked on 18-month production cycles which made it hard to stay in step with the new styles and colors for women. The apparel group, which worked around 12-month cycles, was better at keeping up with fashion trends. But that meant that the clothes werent coordinated with the shoes a big turnoff 2 for women.How to Talk to WomenWhen Jackie Thomas, Nikes US brand marketing director for women, first heard the phrase Nike goddess, she wasnt impressed. I dont like talking to women through gender, she says. Nike Goddess had to mean something to women and it was her job to make that happen. Women dont need anybodys permission. We are at our best when we are showing women a place where they didnt think they could be. For John Hoke, the real power of Nike Goddess is not about traffic at stores. Its about changing minds inside the company. I knew that Goddess could galvanise3 us, he says, It was an opportunity to redefine and re-energies our entire brand around a market that was taking off. who was the first person on earth?
