Answer:
a = 8; b = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Filling in the given values gives you two equations.
7 = a(2) +b
-1 = a(1) +b
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)
8 = a . . . . . simplify
Using this value in the first equation gives ...
7 = (8)(2) +b
b = 7 -16 = -9
The constants are a = 8, b = -9.
Answer:
4,260 feet below sea level (-4,260 feet)
Step-by-step explanation:
The submarine starts at sea level which should be 0 for elevation. And descending 7 feet per second for 2 minutes which means it went down 840 feet ( 7x60x2). Then 4 feet per second for 3 minutes which is 720 feet (4x60x3). Lastly 9 feet per second for 5 minutes which is 2,700 feet (9x60x5). Then you add up those three totals, 840 + 720 + 2,700 = 4,260. So the elevation is -4,260 feet, or 4,260 feet below sea level
