Answer:
D. The scuba diver was 35 meters below the surface of water at the start of the ascent.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept of the graph representing the scuba's driver ascent to the surface is -35.
This represents the starting level below the surface of the water.
✅-35, means that the driver was 35 meters below the surface of water at the start of the scuba's ascent to the surface.
Answer:
1. f(0) = 501170
2. decreasing
3. 2% decrease
4. 302438
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1995 x=0
f(x) = 501170(0.98)^0
f(0) = 501170
The population is decreasing since we are multiplying by .98 ^x
.98 is less than 1 so it is getting smaller each time.
1 -.98 = .02
It is decreasing by 2 % each year
2020-1995 =25 years
f(25) = 501170(0.98)^25
=302438.41862
Rounding to the nearest whole number
302438
negative exponent means how many times to divide by the number. Example: 8-1 = 1 ÷ 8 = 1/8 = 0.125. Or many divides: Example: 5-3 = 1 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 = 0.008.
hope it helps
