2x^-3= 2/x^3
you can't multiple 2x to the power of -3 because is not correct. so you need to change the equation for it to give you an answer
Answer:
Her initial position was:
-29ft
Where we use the minus sign because this is below the ocean's surface.
Now we also know that she keeps descending at a rate of -29ft per minute, then if she keeps descending for t minutes, her position will be:
P(x) = -29ft - 29ft/min*t
Now, we also know that she does not want to descend more than 81ft below the ocean's surface, then we have the inequality:
P(x) ≥ -81ft
-29ft - 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft
Now let's isolate t in one side:
- 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft + 29ft = -52 ft
- 29ft/min*t ≥-52 ft
t ≤ -52ft/(- 29ft/min) = 1.79 min
Then the maximum amount of time that she can keep descending is 1.79 minutes.
The length of the ramp is unknown.
If 6 ramps were cut from a board that is 12 1/2 feet long, the ramps would be about 2 feet long each which seems like a reasonable answer. The questions regarding how many boards are cut would need the length of the ramps. Lets say that the length is x. You can get 12 1/2 divided by x boards. In order to find out how much is left over, take the number of boards made, multiply it by how long they are. This product is then subracted from 12 1/2.
