Read the word problem below.

Chan rows at a rate of eight miles per hour in still water. On Wednesday, it takes him three hours to row upstream from his house to the park. He rows back home, and it takes him two hours. What is the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 3/5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the speed of the current

Let D be the distance between Chan's house and the park

We know that Distance, D, is = Speed x Time

-----

Chan's speed going upstream is (8 - C)mph.

That gives us:

D = (8-C)(3 hr)

Chan's speed going downstream is (8+C)mph

So we have:

D = (8+C)(2 hr)

We know that the d is the same for these two equations, so:

(8-C)(3 hr)  = (8+C)(2 hr)

24 - 3C = 16 + 2C

5C = 8

C = (8/5) or 1 3/5 mph

Answer 2

Answer:

  1.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance, speed, and time are related by ...

  distance = speed × time

We assume that the distances up and back are the same, so for a current speed of c, we have ...

  3(8 -c) = 2(8 +c)

  24 -3c = 16 +2c . . . eliminate parentheses

  8 = 5c . . . . . . . . . . add 3c-16 to both sides

  c = 8/5 = 1.6 . . . . . divide by 5

The speed of the current is 1.6 miles per hour.

It can sometimes be difficult to add fractions, such as 7/4 plus 2/3.

But it's no problem! We have displayed the answer below:

7/4 + 2/3 = 2 5/12

How did we solve the problem above? When we add two fractions, such as 7/4 + 2/3, we make sure that the two denominators are the same and then we simply add the numerators.

In cases where the denominators are not the same, we find the lowest common denominator and adjust the fractions to keep them.

What is the Equation of the Line in Slope Intercept form?

The general form of the equation of a Line in Slope Intercept form is;

y = mx + c

where;

m is slope

c is y-intercept

We are told that the graph has the points (0, 6) and (2, 1). Thus, the formula for slope is;

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (1 - 6)/(2 - 0)

m = -5/2

m = -2.5

Now, since the y-intercept is at (0, 6), then it means that;

c = 6

Thus, the equation of the line is; y = -2.5x + 6

Answer:

Option B: [tex]y=\left \{ {{x^2+6,x<3} \atop {-x+6,x\geq3}} \right.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the first part of the piecewise function is a parabola with a y-intercept of (0,6) where the domain is restricted for all values of x less than 3 given the open circle at x=3.

The second part of the piecewise function is a linear function with a negative slope where the domain is restricted for all values of x greater than or equal to 3 given the closed circle at x=3.

Essentially, the piecewise function has a jump discontinuity at x=3 where the first part of the function goes to the second part of the function at one point by "jumping".

Cotton farmers constantly battle with insects that want to eat their crops. Geneticists created transgenic cotton with leaves that repelled insects, such as caterpillars.

Which statement best describes an unintended negative consequence of creating the transgenic cotton?


The cotton plants grew at increased rates but produced fewer flowers.

The cotton produced more and larger flowers.

The cotton began dying very quickly.

The caterpillars instead ate the cotton flowers and damaged cotton production.

Answers

hi have a nice day,❤️

Occurrence of diversity in ecosystem sustains particular characteristic of a biological community and also ensures stability of the community. Transgenic crops may affect insect biodiversity by unintended impacts on non-target arthropod population. For example, transgenic GM cotton specific to target lepidopterous pests can change the cotton pest spectrum and may induce the growth of new harmful pest species having no pest status. The change in species composition may influence IPM approach in cotton crop. The results of authors’ research studies as well as global impact indicate that GM cotton is highly specific to target pests and has no unintended impact on non-target insect population. GM cotton provides significant season-long field control of target pests (Helicoverpa armigera, Earias spp. and Pectinophora gossypiella), with no significant control of Spodoptera species. The decreased insecticide use in GM cotton has a positive impact on beneficial insect populations and can increase the stability of rare species.

Answer:

The caterpillars instead ate the cotton flowers and damaged cotton production.

Explanation:

Bt cotton was developed for cold temperate countries like the US where pests are limited - chiefly the bollworm, against which the Bt toxin works and pest load in fields is not high.

But the problem is with the warmer climates like India, where bollworms flourish. Over time, because of the sheer amount of bollworms in warmer climates like India or Southern United States, these bollworms grown an immunity to the Bt toxin and we are back to square one.

Which quadratic equation is equivalent to (x + 2)2 + 5(x + 2) – 6 = 0?

u2 + 4 + 5u – 6 = 0 where u = (x – 2)
u2 + 5u – 6 = 0 where u = (x + 2)
u2 + u – 6 = 0 where u = (x + 2)

Answers

Answer:

we have

(x+2)^{2} +5(x+2)-6=0(x+2)

+5(x+2)−6=0

Let

u=(x+2)u=(x+2)

Substitute in the expression

(u)^{2} +5(u)-6=0(u)

+5(u)−6=0

therefore

the answer is

(u)^{2} +5(u)-6=0(u)

Answer:

LCM(57624, 416745) = 23,337,720 or  LCM = 23337720

Step-by-step explanation:

List all prime factors for each number.

Prime Factorization of 57624 is:

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7  =>  23 x 31 x 74

Prime Factorization of 416745 is:

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 7  =>  35 x 51 x 73

For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.

The new superset list is

2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 7, 7, 7, 7

Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.

LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 23337720

In exponential form:

LCM = 23 x 35 x 51 x 74 = 23337720

LCM = 23337720

Therefore,

LCM(57624, 416745) = 23,337,720

Which expression is equivalent to the difference shown?
5/m - m+8/ m^2-4m

Answers

The expression 5/m - (m+8)/(m^2-4m) is equivalent to 4(m-7)/m(m-4) option (C) is correct.

What is polynomial?

Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants in a systematic manner with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

We have a expression:

[tex]=\rm \frac{5}{m} - \frac{m+8}{m^2-4m}[/tex]

To simplified the above expression take the LCM  [tex]\rm m^2-4m[/tex]

[tex]=\rm \frac{5(m-4)-(m+8)}{m^2-4m}[/tex]

[tex]=\rm \frac{5m-20-m-8}{m^2-4m}[/tex]

[tex]=\rm \frac{4m-28}{m^2-4m}[/tex]

[tex]=\rm \frac{4(m-7)}{m(m-4)}[/tex]

Thus, the expression 5/m - (m+8)/(m^2-4m) is equivalent to 4(m-7)/m(m-4) option (C) is correct.

b) 12.2° (please refer to explanation because I didn't know what to round to)

Step-by-step explanation:

1a) A supplementary angle will equal 180°, so you must subtract 42.1 from 180

180-42.1 = 137.9

1b) A complementary angle will equal 90°, so you need to use the expression given and add an x for the other part of 90°

8x-20+x = 90

9x-20=90

9x=110

patrick said that the product of any number and 4 is always double the product of that number and 2. Is patrick correct. explain

Answers

Patrick is correct, since the two parts of the statement are equal.

From the question,

Patrick said that the product of any number and 4 is always double the product of that number and 2. We are to investigate if Patrick is correct.

First, let the number be x,

From the first part of the statement

The product of any number and 4

That is,

4 × x = 4x

And

The second part of the statement,

double the product of that number and 2

That is,

2(x × 2) = 2(2x)

Now, we will investigate if

4x = 2(2x)

Expand the right hand side of the equation

That is,

4x = 2 × 2x  

Then, we get

4x = 4x

Since the two parts of the statement are equal, then Patrick is correct.

Hence, Patrick is correct, since the two parts of the statement are equal.

Answers

The total number of cars both the student and the teacher made is 49

let

total cars = x

cars made by student = s

cars made by teacher = t

Total = student + teacher

x = s + t

s = 2/7x

So,

x = 2/7x + t

x - 2/7x = t

t = (7x - 2x) / 7

t = 5/7x

Similarly,

s = t - 21

s = 5/7x - 21

equate both s equation

2/7x = 5/7x - 21

2/7x - 5/7x = -21

(2x - 5x) / 7 = -21

- 3/7x = -21

x = -21 ÷ -3/7

= -21 × - 7/3

= (-21 × -7) / 3

= 147/3

x = 49

Therefore, the total number of cars both the student and the teacher made is 49
