A scuba diver dove 40 feet below the surface. He swam up 12 feet to see a unique fish. He followed the fish down 8 feet. Then he followed the fish up 27 feet. How far below the surface is the diver now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 9 feet below the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scuba diver starts 40 ft below the surface. We can represent the position of the scuba diver as:

Position = -40ft

Where the negative sign is because it is below the surface of the water, so

"He swam up 12 feet to see a unique fish."

Now we need to add 12ft

Then his new position is:

Position = -40ft + 12 ft = -28ft

"He followed the fish down 8 feet.

Now we need to subtract 8ft

His new position is:

Position = -28ft - 8 ft = -36 ft

"Then he followed the fish up 27 feet."

Now we add another 27 ft.

The final position will be:

Position = -36ft + 27ft = -9ft

Then the final position of the scuba diver is -9ft, that means that he is 9 feet below the surface.

Joel has a goal to practice his clarinet for 4 hours per week. The list 5 1below shows the number of hours Joel has practiced so far this week. Monday 1 hours 2 1 Wednesday 1 hours 3 1 Thursday 1 hour How many more hours does Joel need to practice this week to meet his goal?

Answers

Answer:

Joel need to practice this week = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] hour

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - the exact question is -

As given

Total practice goal of Joel = [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

He practiced on : Monday - [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

                             Wednesday - [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours

                             Thursday - 1 hour

Let the remaining practice = x hours

⇒ Total practice =  [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

⇒[tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + 1 + x = [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

⇒ 1 + [tex]\frac{1}{2} + 1 + \frac{1}{4} + 1 + x = 4 + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

⇒3 + x - 4 = [tex]\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

⇒x - 1 = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

⇒x = [tex]-\frac{1}{4} + 1 = \frac{-1 + 4}{4} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

⇒x = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] hour

∴ we get

Joel need to practice this week = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] hour

Step 3: Find Slope

Substitute in x:                                                                                                [tex]\displaystyle f'(4) = 14(4) + 7[/tex]Multiply:                                                                                                           [tex]\displaystyle f'(4) = 56 + 7[/tex]Add:                                                                                                                  [tex]\displaystyle f'(4) = 63[/tex]

This means that the slope of the tangent line at x = 4 is equal to 63.

Part B: Plug in what you DO know and solve the one you DON’T:
0.10x + 0.25(2) = 0.80
0.10x + 0.50 = 0.80. Subtract 0.50 from both sides:
0.10x = 0.30 (Divide both sides by 0.10)
x = 3
Therefore you have 3 dimes

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't say what you want to get but I'm guessing that you want to know who had the cheapest deal or the best deal.

Robby went on Monday and bought three movies for $15.36. The cost per movie will be:

= $15.36/3

= $5.12

Paula went on Wednesday and bought five movies for $27.40. The cost per movie will be:

= $27.40/5

= $5.48

Trey went on Thursday and bought four movies for $20.08. The cost per movie will be:

= $20.08/4

= $5.02

Madison went on Friday and bought six movies for $31.44. The cost per movie will be:

= $31.44/6

= $5.24

We can see that Trey had the best deal.

Un elev a depus la banca suma de 250 lei. Știind ca banca oferă dobânda anuala de 1%,iar stația impozitează dobânda cu 16%,aflati ce suma va avea elevul după un an de depunere.

Answers

Răspuns:

292,50

Explicație pas cu pas:

Dobânda totală% = (1% + 16%) = 17% = 17/100 = 0,17

Suma principală depusă, P = 250

Suma totală, A după 1 an poate fi calculată astfel:

A = P (1 + rt)

Unde ; r = rata dobânzii; t = timp

A = 250 (1 + (0,17 * 1))

A = 250 (1,17)

A = 292,5
