You travel 5 miles downstream in a kayak at a speed of r miles per hour. You turn around and travel 6 miles upstream at a speed

of 0.6r miles per hour. Finally, you turn around and return to your original starting point at a speed of r+1 miles per hour.

Kyle, d = rt, right? This means that t = d/r. If we call the rate of the current c, then her rate upstream is hindered by the current and is 3 - c. Downstream is 3 + c. The total time is 6 hours... 5/(3 - c) + 5/(3 + c) = 6 Once we put everything over the same denominator, we don't need it anymore. 5(3 + c) + 5(3 - c) = 6(3 - c)(3 + c) 15 + 5c + 15 - 5c = 54 - 6c2
30 = 54 - 6c26c2 = 24c2 = 4c = 2 2 mph

• Texas: 2.69 x 10 5 square miles • Rhode Island: 1.21 x 10 3 square miles Determine the difference, in square miles, between th
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between the area of Texas and Rhode Island in square miles and scientific notation = (2.68 × 10⁵) square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Texas = (2.69 × 10⁵) square miles = 269000 square miles

Area of Rhode Island = (1.21 × 10³) square miles = 1210 square miles

Difference between the Area of the Texas and Rhode Island = 269000 - 1210 = 267,790 square miles = (2.68 × 10⁵) square miles.

The difference between the area of Texas and Rhode Island in square miles and scientific notation = (2.68 × 10⁵) square miles.

Hope this Helps!!!

The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation an
finlep [7]
Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:


y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation. 
The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation and Helena claims that point-slope form will find the equation. Who is correct? Explain your reason by describing both forms.

Use two points to enter an equation for the function. Give your answer in the form a(b)^n. In the event that a = 1, give your an
levacccp [35]

Answer:

m(n) = 24 (0.75)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

1) <u>The two points are</u>:

a) On the first swing she swings forward by 18 degrees: <em>(1, 18)</em>

b) On the second swing she only comes 13.5 degrees forward: <em>(2,13.5)</em>

2) <u>The general equation using the form given is</u>:

m(n)=A(B)^n

3) <u>Substitute the two points</u>:

18=A(B)\\ \\ 13.5=A(B)^2

4) <u>Divide the second equation by the first one</u>:

⇒ 13.5 / 18 = B

⇒ B = 0.75

5) <u>Substitue B = 0.75 into the first equation</u>:

18 = A (0.75) ⇒ A = 18 / 0.75 = 24

Hence, the equation is:

m(n) = 24 (0.75)^n

We are given with the expression y<span> = b cos t + t2 sin t and is asked to differentiate the function in terms of t. Based in the power law and law of products, we apply these to the given expresssion. the derivative is y' = -b sin t + t^2 * (cos t) + sin t * 2t. This is equal to  </span>y' = sin t (-b +2t) + t^2 cos t.
