Two friends can paddle a canoe at a rate of 6 km/h in still water. It takes them 1 h in total to paddle 2 km up a river and another 2 km back. Find the speed of the current, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The speed of the current is 3.5 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

When they move in the river, the speed of the canoe is:

Sc is the speed of the canoe and Sr is the speed of the current.

Sc + Sr (when they move in the same direction as the current)

Sc - Sr (when they move in the opposite direction as the current)

So we have that in one hour, they moved 2km and then they returned other 2km.

Now, using the relation:

Velocity*time = distance

we can write 1hour = T1 + T2 such that:

(Sc + Sr)*T1 = 2km

(Sc - Sr)*T2 = 2km

T1 + T2 = 1hour -------> T2 = 1h - T1

Sc = 6km/h.

So we can write this as two equations:

(6km/h + Sr)*T1 = 2km

(6km/h - Sr)*(1h - T1) = 2km.

Now, the first step will be isolate one of the variables in one equation, we can get:

T1 = 2km/(6km/h + Sr)

and replace it in the second equation:

(6km/h - Sr)*(1h -2km/(6km/h + Sr)) = 2km.

Now we solve this for Sr, i will ignore the units, so it is easier to read the math.

(6 - Sr) - 2*(6 - Sr)/(6 + Sr) = 2

(6 - Sr)*(6 + Sr) - 2*(6 - Sr) = 2*(6 + Sr)

6^2 - Sr^2 - 12 + 2*Sr - 12 - 2*Sr = 0

-Sr^2 + 36 -12 -12 = 0

-Sr^2 + 12 = 0

Sr = √12 = 3.5km/h

(where we take the positive value of the square root)

Answer 2

The speed of the current is 3.5 km/h

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent the speed of the current and t₁ represent the time spent paddling up and t₂ represent the time spent paddling back. Hence:

(6 - a)(t₁) = 2 km

t₁ = 2 / (6 - a)      (1)

(6 + a)(t₂) = 2 km

t₂ = 2 / (6 + a)   (2)

t₁ + t₂ = 1 hour

[2 / (6 - a)] + [2 / (6 + a)] = 1

12 + 2a + 12 - 2a = 36 - a²

a² - 12 = 0

a = 3.5 km/h

The speed of the current is 3.5 km/h

Answer:

  a) 50π cm^2

  b) π/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula for the area of a semicircle is ...

  A = (1/2)πr^2 = (1/2)π(d/2)^2 = (π/8)d^2

For a diameter of 20 cm, the area is ...

  A = (π/8)(20 cm)^2 = 50π cm^2 . . . . . the area of the semicircle

__

The formula for the area of a quarter circle is ...

  A = (1/4)πr^2

For a radius of 20 cm, the area is ...

  A = (π/4)(20 cm)^2 = 100π cm^2 . . . . . the area of the quarter circle

__

The shaded area is the difference of the areas of the quarter circle and semicircle:

  shaded area = (100π cm^2) -(50π cm^2)

  shaded area = 50π cm^2

__

b) The ratio of the shaded area to the square area is ...

  shaded area / square area = (50π cm^2)/(20 cm)^2 = π/8

f(x) = 20(1.5)x. Let your dependent variable in the function be y. Write the function that models the independent variable in terms of y, using logarithms.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=log_{1.5}(\frac{y}{20})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the function:

[tex]f(x) = 20\, (1.5)^x[/tex]

The independent variable is "x" and we are asked to model it in terms of the variable "y":

[tex]f(x) = 20\, (1.5)^x\\y=20\, (1.5)^x[/tex]

Then, in order to solve for x (which resides in the exponent), we need to use the logarithm function.

Since the base of the exponent is 1.5, we need to use the logarithm base 1.5, to lower that exponent "x":

[tex]y=20\, (1.5)^x\\\frac{y}{20} =(1.5)^x\\log_{1.5}(\frac{y}{20}) =x\\x=log_{1.5}(\frac{y}{20})[/tex]

Answers

Answer: 20 dogs





Explanation: The quickest way is to make a fraction of 26/40. 26 divided by 2 is 13 and 40 divided by 2 is 20.



The best way is to set up a proportion: 26 lbs/40 dogs=13 lbs/x dogs.

Cross multiplying (26*x and 13*40) leaves us with 520=26x.

When we divide both sides by 26, we find that 20 dogs is the answer.
