Answer:

d(t) = -20t - 260

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth function is:

d(t) = mt + b

After 3 minutes, a submarine had descended to −320 feet.

This means that d(3) = -320. So

d(t) = mt + b

-320 = 3m + b

After 8 minutes, the submarine had descended to −420 feet.

This means that d(8) = -420. So

d(t) = mt + b

-420 = 8m + b

From the first equation:

b = -320 - 3m

So

-420 = 8m + b

-420 = 8m - 320 - 3m

5m = -100

m = \frac{-100}{5}

m = -20

And

b = -320 - 3*(-20) = -260

So

d(t) = -20t - 260

Is there enough information to prove P is parallel to Q if so state the theorem or postulate?
stira [4]
Yes there is. i do not know the theorem but I know it's rule. If 2 lines intersect the same line, and they have an equal angle in the same quadrant then they are parallel. This is because their all of their angles would be equal and they are basically the same line but shifted over
