Max is scuba diving at elevation of -64.5 feet, when friend signals to come higher. Max makes 2 ascents, each an equal distance

to reach an elevation of -21.4 feet, where his friend is located. What was max’s elevation after his first ascent?I come up with -43.1

Answer: - 42.95 feet

Explanation:

Let each ascent be x. Thus,

2 equal ascents = 2x

From the information given,

initial position = - 64.5 feet

Final position after 2 ascents = - 21.4 feet

This means that

- 64.5 + 2x = - 21.4

2x = - 21.4 + 64.5

2x = 43.1

x = 43.1/2

x = 21.55

Thus, Max's elevation after the first ascent is

- 64.5 + 21.55

= - 42.95 feet

How do you find the solution to this inequality? please explain to me step by step how to do this

Lapatulllka [165]

She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner, that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest of her heavenly qualities. Under its influence the tender heart became stone, and the lamb-like disposition gave way to one of the tiger-like fierceness. From the excerpt above, which statement best describes the changes in his mistress’s character? She was always loyal only to the laws and to her husband. He felt sorry for her since she was oppressed, too. The change in her character was inexcusable. She was unwilling to face the conflict of betraying her culture for her personal beliefs.

Men and women (ages 22–40) were surveyed to choose a favorite free-time activity: playing sports, dancing, or watching movies/TV

Gnesinka [82]

The correct two-way frequency table for the data is <u>Men </u><u>and </u><u>Women </u><u>Leisure Time Activity Preferences.</u>

<h3>What is a correct two-way frequency table?</h3>

A correct two-way frequency table displays frequencies for two categories (rows and columns) collected from categorical variables (men and women).

Men and Women Leisure Time Activity Preferences;

Playing Sports Dancing Watching movies/TV Row totals

Men 11 3 6 20

Women 5 16 9 30

Column totals 16 19 15 50

Hence, the correct two-way frequency table for the data is Men and Women Leisure Time Activity Preferences.

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$
