In this question, we're trying to find the depth of the fish after 12 seconds

We know that the fish descends at a rate of 18 in. per second.

We need to represent this as an equation

Our equation would be:

y = -18x

x = seconds of descending

y = depth

We don't know where the fish started, so we can assume that it started at a depth of 0

Plug in 12 to the equation and solve:

y = -18(12)

y = -216

The fish would be at a depth of -216 inches.

Answer:

-216 inches

Answer:

216 inches/ 18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the descension by the number of seconds.

18*12 = 216 inches, or 18 feet.

95% of students at school weigh between 62 kg and 90 kg. Assuming this data is normally distributed, what are the mean and stand

stiks02 [169]

We can calculate (62 + 90) / 2 = 76. it's known that 95% lies between the mean and twice the standard deviation. if the mean is "μ" and the standard deviation is "σ": μ-2σ and μ+2σ. if μ=76, then 76+2σ = 90, so 2σ = 14, so σ = 7.

the mean is 76 and the standard deviation 7.

Hello there! The value of x is 20 or -20

"20 or - 20" is one answer so you are supposed to answer 20 or -20, not choose only one.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large{ \frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {5}^{2} } = {4}^{2} }$
