Upstream: 60 = 6(b-c) Downstream: 60 = 3(b+c) There are now two separate equations: 60 = 6b - 6c and 60 = 3b + 3c Solve both equations for b: b = 10 + c b = 10 - c Now make both equations equal each other and solve for c: 10 + c = 10 - c 2c = 0 c = 0 The speed of the current was 0 mph Now‚ plug the numbers into one of either the original equations to find the speed of the boat in still water. I chose the first equation: b = 10 + c or b = 10 + 0 b = 10 The speed of the boat in still water must

What were the goals of Radical Reconstruction and how did it lead to changes in ideas of American citizenship? Reconstruction refers to the period of time post-civil-war when the goal was to bring the South into submission and protect the African American Civil Rights. The federal government set the conditions that would allow for the Rebellious Southern States back into the Union. This was a very complex time for our country and many goals were set in order to bring everyone together to live in

challenging to understand. One term particularly that may frequent the ears of a so-seeker would be the term “free radicals”. While our brain (serving just one of its many essential functions) processes the characters in the word that we read‚ it is now that we can examine and understand more completely what a free radical is and how these molecules affect the effects of the aging process. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules produced naturally in our body. When cells metabolize energy‚ these molecules

History/125 2012 Reconstruction Some historians argue that Radical Reconstruction was not radical enough. After studying the events of the late 19th century‚ defend whether or not you agree with this position. What are the long-term implications? After studying the evens of the late 19th century I would have to agree with the historians that state the radical reconstruction was not radical enough. I think that the intention of these changes were to change the general cultural belief

To solve a system of equations by addition or subtraction (or elimination)‚ you must eliminate one of the variables so that you could solve for one of the variables. First‚ in this equation‚ you must look for a way to eliminate a variable (line the equations up vertically and look to see if there are any numbers that are equal to each other). If there is lets say a –2y on the top equation and a –2y on the bottom equation you could subtract them and they would eliminate themselves by equaling zero

Rational Equations Rational equations can be used to get a general idea about the rate at which a job can be completed. This can be really useful for business owners and other areas of daily life. Here is an example: Scenario: Sue can paint the garage in 4 hours and Joe has carpal tunnel so he is slower and can paint the same garage in 6 hours. How long (number of hours) will it take Sue and Joe to paint the garage if they work together? Solution: Sue can paint of the garage in 1 hour. Joe

QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Quadratic equations Any equation of the form ax2 + bx + c=0‚ where a‚b‚c are real numbers‚ a 0 is a quadratic equation. For example‚ 2x2 -3x+1=0 is quadratic equation in variable x. SOLVING A QUADRATIC EQUATION 1.Factorisation A real number a is said to be a root of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c=0‚ if aa2+ba+c=0. If we can factorise ax2 + bx + c=0‚ a 0‚ into a product of linear factors‚ then the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c=0 can be found

Patterns within systems of Linear Equations HL Type 1 Maths Coursework Maryam Allana 12 Brook The aim of my report is to discover and examine the patterns found within the constants of the linear equations supplied. After acquiring the patterns I will solve the equations and graph the solutions to establish my analysis. Said analysis will further be reiterated through the creation of numerous similar systems‚ with certain patterns‚ which will aid in finding a conjecture. The hypothesis
