The submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute is 1.2 miles

<h3>How to find the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute?</h3>

To find the submarine's depth after the first minute, we first need to find the rate at which the submarine descends, r.

The rate at which the submarime descends is r = d/t where

  • d = submarine's depth and
  • t = time of descent to depth d.

Given that submarine descended at a constant rate to a depth of −3/4 mile relative to sea level in 5/8 minutes, we have that

  • d = -3/4 mile and
  • t = 5/8 minutes.

So, substituting these into r, we have

r = d/t

= -3/4 mile ÷ 5/8 min

= -3/4 × 8/5

= -3 × 2/5

= -6/5

= -1.2 mile/min

So, the depth of the submarine after the first minute is given by D = rt where r = rate of descent =  -1.2 mile/min and t = time = 1 min

So, substituting these into D, we have

D = rt

=  -1.2 mile/min × 1 min

= -1.2 mile

So, the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute is 1.2 miles

Express the function f(x) =3x^2-6x-18 in the form a(x + h)^2=k, where a, h and k are constants.Hence state the :
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1
