Howie sorkin can travel 8 miles upstream in the same time it takes him to go 12 miles downstream. his boat goes 15 mph in still water. what is the rate of the current

the speed of the current is 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat be x miles per hour

Let the speed of the current be y miles per hour

Speed = distance / time

Time = distance/speed

If the boat goes 12miles downstream(in still water) at 15 mph then, the time is

12/ 15 = 0.8 hours

In still water, it means that it moved in the same direction with the current.

The total speed would be x + y. Therefore

x + y = 15 - - - - - - -1

If the boat goes 8 miles upstream in 0.8 hours, the the speed is

8/ 0.8 = 10 miles per hour

Assuming it moved in the opposite direction to the current.

The total speed would be x -y. Therefore

x - y = 10 - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

2x = 25

x = 25/2 = 12.5

y = 15 - x

y = 15 - 12.5 = 2.5 miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

we have the parent function given by,

1. the function is translated 5 units to the left.

so, we get,   becomes

2. the function is translated 5 units to the right.

so, we get,   becomes

3. the function is translated 5 units upwards.

so, we get,   becomes

4. the function is translated 5 units downwards.

so, we get,   becomes

5. the function is reflected across x-axis.

so, we get,   becomes

6. the function is reflected across y-axis.

so, we get,   becomes .
