Answer:

Final position of scuba diver = 7 feet below the surface.

Explanation;

 Let us take down direction as positive and up direction as negative.

 A scuba diver dives down 15 feet into the ocean, position of scuba diver = +15 feet.

 He then swims 8 feet back up towards the surface, position of scuba diver = -8 feet

 Overall position = 15 - 8 = 7 feet.

 So final position of scuba diver = 7 feet below the surface.

A Japanese bullet train travels 558 miles per 3 hours A. What is the rate B. How far does the train travel in 1 hour WHO EVER A
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The rate is going to be the same as the distance travelled in 1 hour. The units will be different.

Formula

d = r * t

Givens

d = 558 miles

t = 3 hours

Problem A

r = d / t

r = 558/ 3 = 186 miles / hr

Problem B

Givens

r = 186 miles / hour

t = 1 hour

d = ?

Solution

d = 186 mi/hr * 1 hr

d = 186 miles

<u>Note</u>

This looks really trivial, but it's not. You have to learn to see the difference between a number and its units. It's not very often that the numbers will be the same, but if the units differ, then it is an entirely different question.

If f(x) and f⁻¹(x) are inverse functions of each other and f(x)=2x+5, what is f⁻¹(8)?
dexar [7]

Answer:

3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+5   Finding the inverse:

y = 2x + 5

2x = y - 5

x = (y - 5)/2

So the inverse f-1(x) = (x - 5)/2

and f-1(8) = (8-5)/2

= 3/2.
