Answer:

d(t)=-108*t-3.5.

435.5 meters below water surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that from an elevation of 3.5 m below the surface of the water. A northern bottle nose whale dives at a rate of 1.8 m/s.

Let us convert whale's dive rate in terms of meters per minute.  

Since we know that 1 minute=60 seconds so we will multiply whale's dive rate by 60 to convert it in meters per minute.

1.8\frac{\text{meters}}{\text{second}} =1.8*60\frac{\text{meters}}{\text{minute}}

108\frac{\text{meters}}{\text{minute}}

We can write a rule that gives the whale's depth d as a function of time in minutes as:  

d(t)=-108t-3.5

Therefore, our function will be d(t)=-108*t-3.5.

Now let us find whale's depth after 4 minutes by substituting t=4 in our function.

d(4)=-108*4-3.5

d(4)=-432-3.5

d(4)=-435.5  

Therefore, after 4 minutes whale will be 435.5 meters below water surface.

Evaluate the expression. 0.1×( – 0.9+ – 0.2÷ – 0.5) Write your answer as an integer or a decimal. Do not round.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

-0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression :

0.1×( – 0.9+ – 0.2÷ – 0.5)

Evaluating the bracket :

0.1 * (-0.9 - 0.2 ÷ - 0.5)

Solving the division first

-0.2 ÷ - 0.5 = 0.4

Now we have ;

0.1 * (-0.9 + 0.4)

0.1 * - 0.5

= - 0.05
