Answer:

a). -5.7 meters or 5.7 meters below sea level

b). When we combine the two depths we sum them since they are an increment in the same direction and we sum them from the seal level, our first reference point.

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Final depth=Initial depth+deeper increment=(-1.5)+(-4.2)=-5.7

Initial depth=-1.5 represented by a negative number since she is below sea level, meaning her reference point(point 0) is the sea level. The more she moves below the sea level the deeper she goes and the more her depth becomes negative

Deeper increment=-4.1, she further moves deeper from her initial depth(-1.5) by a value of -4.1. In order to find her final depth, we have to sum all the depths she covered from her first reference point which is the see level.

The expression is;

Final depth=Initial depth+deeper increment=(-1.5)+(-4.2)=-5.7 meters

Her final depth=-5.7 meters

b). When we combine the two depths we sum them since they are an increment in the same direction and we sum them from the seal level, our first reference point.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A. 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the numbers up, you get 25. There is 5 yellow marbles, so that's a 5/25 chance of picking a yellow one, now you just have to simplify, you then get 1/5, because 5 ÷ 5 is 1, and 25 ÷ 5 is 5.

2=5 ; 3=9 ; 4=48 ; 5=220 ; 6=1,350<br> THEN 8 = ?
loris [4]

IF

2=5 ;

3=9 ; 3*5 - 3*2

4=48 ; 4*9 + 4*3

5=220 ; 5*48 - 5*4

6=1,350 6*220 + 6*5

7= 9408 7*1350 - 7*6

THEN 8 = 8*9408 + 8*7 = 75320

SOMEONE WHOS GOOD AT EXPLAINING WITH FULL DETAILS
Oxana [17]
Im not sure what you are asking, but for a probability tree, you have the total # of something at the very top of the tree, next it branches out into groups, and those groups represent something like colored marbles or something... and to find percent you divide the total number like the number of marbles bye 100 and multiply that number bye the thing that you're trying to get job percent like a color of marbles, I hope this helped...

Which table represents a linear function?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

I would go with the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is the only one that increases by the same number. In other words, its slope is constant. A linear function has a constant slope. You can tell that it increases by 1/2 every time.
