A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 16 miles per hour relative to the water in going 55 miles upstream and then retuming. The total time for the tip was 8.0 hours. Use this information to find the speed of the current.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the current be c

Time upstream is

Time downstream is

Total time is 8 hours

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
