A boat can go 33 mph in still water. It take as long to go 300 miles upstream as it does to go downstream 360 miles . How fast is the current?

Step 1. Let v be the velocity of the current.

Step 2. Speed of boat in still water is 33 mph. Velocity going upstream is 33-v and velocity going downsteam is 33+v

Step 3. Distance=Time*Velocity and Upstream time = Downstream time

Step 4. Upstream time = Distance/Velocity=300/(33-v)

Step 5. Downstream time = 360/(33+v)

Step 6. Set expressions in Step 4 and 5 to be equal since time traveled upstream equals to time traveled downstream. Then



Multiply by (33-v)(33+v) to both sides of equation to get rid of denominators.



Divide by 60 to both sides of equation





Add 6v-165 to both sides of equation



Divide by 33 to both sides of equation



Step 5. So velocity of current is 3 mph.

How to solve f(x)=x^2+30

I assume you want to plot the above graph:

Just take values of x and substitute in above equation:

For example x=0 means f(x=0)=0^2+30=30

x=1 means f(x=1)=1^2+30=31

x=-1 means f(x=-1)=(-1)^2+30=31

etc.

Here's a graph of the above equation...

Rectangles/213893: the length of a rectangle is 8in.more than its width.the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 in. what are the width and length of the rectangle? 1 solutions Answer 161564 by drj(1380)   on 2009-09-15 18:21:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of a rectangle is 8in. more than its width.the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 in. what are the width and length of the rectangle? Step 1. Let l be the length where l=w+8 where w is the width. Step 2. Perimeter of a rectangle is when the lengths of all four sides are summed together. Let P be the perimeter. Step 3. Then we have Step 4. Solving the above equation for w yields Solved by pluggable solver: EXPLAIN simplification of an expression Your Result: YOUR ANSWER Here's what you tried: This is an equation! Solutions: w=2. Graphical form: Equation was fully solved.

Quadratic_Equations/213902: Solve by using the quadratic formula. (18/w^2) - (10/w) + 1 = 0 If your answer contains a radical, express it in simplified form. 1 solutions Answer 161562 by drj(1380)   on 2009-09-15 18:14:23 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve by using the quadratic formula. If your answer contains a radical, express it in simplified form. Step 1. Multiply above equation by to get rid of the denominator terms. or Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons: For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number. First, we need to compute the discriminant : . Discriminant d=28 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: . Quadratic expression can be factored: Again, the answer is: 7.64575131106459, 2.35424868893541.
