Answer:

He has been diving for 17 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- Paul is diving and is 3.5 feet below sea level

- He is descending at a rate of 0.5 feet per minute

- Paul is now at 12 feet

∵ His initial position is at 3.5 feet below the sea

∵ He is descending, that means he is moving down

∵ His final position is at 12

∴ <em>He is descending a distance = 12 - 3.5 = 8.5 feet</em>

∵ He is descending at a rate of 0.5 feet per minute

∵ He is descending 8.5 feet

∵ <em>Time = distance ÷ rate</em>

∴ <em>His time of descending = 8.5 ÷ 0.5 = 17 minutes</em>

* <em>He has been diving for 17 minutes</em>

In the year 1987, an investment was worth $29,800. In the year 1997, this
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 46.98%

b) increasing rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

In year 1987, investment worth $29800

In year 1997, investment worth $43800

Rate of change = 1997investment - 1987investment / 1987investment × 100

Rate of change = 43800 - 29800/29800 × 100

= 14000/29800 × 100

= 0.46979 × 100

= 46.98%

Therefore, the rate of change of the investment during the time period is 46.98%.

b) The rate of change of the investment is increasing. This is as a result of the following reasons. First, the value of rate of change is positive. Second, there is no value for rate of change for period before the time period so we cannot compare rate of change.

Quantity Equation: h + s = 87
Value Equation:: 1.5h+0.5s=78.50

Multiply thru the Quantity Equation by 15
Multiply thru the Value Equation by 10.

15h + 15s = 15*87
15h + 5s = 785</span>Subtract and solve for "s":<span>10s = 520
</span>s = 52 (# of soda's sold)
<span>
Solve for h:
h + s = 87
h + 52 = 87
h = 35 (# of hot dog's sold)</span>
