Answer:

8 Feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

If the salmon were initially 5 feet below the surface, and then travelled down an additional 3 feet from the initial 5, then the new position would be 8 feet down relative to the surface.

You can write this as -5 + -3 = -8, assuming that 0 represents surface level.

Cheers.

Find the first 5 terms of the arithmetic sequence : a(1)=-3 , a(17)=-20
madreJ [45]
The explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
a=first term
d=common difference 
given:
a3=22
a(17)=-20
substituting this in our equation we get:
22=a+(3-1)d
22=a+2d
a=22-2d........i

also:
-20=a+(17-1)d
-20=a+16d.....ii
but substituting i in ii we get:
-20=22-2d+16d
-20-22=14d
-42=14d
d=-3
but:
a=22-2d
a=22-2(-3)
a=28
thus the formula will be:
an=28-3(n-1)
thus the first term will be 28
the 2nd term will be:
a2=28-3(2-1)
a2=25

the 3rd term will be:
a3=28-3(3-1)
a3=28-6
a3=22

a4=28-3(4-1)
a4=28-9
a4=15

a5=28-3(5-1)
a5=28-3(4)
a5=28-12
a5=15

57:22 5 What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the po
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

C. y + 3 = ¼(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the slope of the given line:

Slope = ∆y/∆x = -(4/1) = -4

The line that is perpendicular to the given line on the graph would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -4.

Thus, the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line on the graph would be ¼.

m = ¼.

Since the line passes through (-4, -3), to write the equation in point-slope form, substitute a = -4, b = -3, and m = ¼ into y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - (-3) = ¼(x - (-4))

y + 3 = ¼(x + 4)

Discount = Marked price - selling price

As given

a jar of natural peanut butter normally costs $4.00 .

it's on sale for $3.60 .

thus

Marked price = $4.00

selling price = $3.60

put in the above formula

Discount = 4.00 - 3.60
