Answer:

-525 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If a submarine was below sea level, that would mean that it would be at an elevation of negative feet down, so if it's 800 feet below sea level, it's elevation would be -800.

to ascend means to rise, so the submarine would be moving +275 feet (going higher, closer to sea level)

so you can make out this equation: -800 + 275

this would equal: -525

How many solutions are there to the equation below? |x| = -31​
ella [17]

Break down the problem into these two equations;

x = -31

-x = -31

Solve for the 1st equation; x = -31

x = -31

Solve for the 2nd equation; -x = -31

x = 31

Collect all solutions

x = ±31

Check the solution

When x = -31, the original equation; |x| = -31 does not hold true. Thus, we will drop x = -31 from the solution set.

Check the solution again;

When x = 31, the original equation |x| = -31 does not hold true as well. Thus we will drop x = 31 from the solution set.

Therefore,

<u>No solution exists to this equation. </u>

the maximum walking speed S, in feet per second of an animal can be modeled by the equation S=the square root gL where g=32ft/se
swat32

The maximum walking speed of the Giraffe is 1.41 times greater than the maximum walking speed of the Hippopotamus

<h3>Calculating Maximum speed</h3>

From the question, we are to determine how much greater the maximum walking speed of Giraffe is to that of Hippopotamus

From the give information,

The maximum walking speed, S, is given by

S = √gL

Where g = 32ft/sec
and L is the length of the animal's leg

Thus,

For a Giraffe with a leg length of 6 feet

S = √32×6

S = √192

S = 13.856 ft/sec

For a Hippopotamus with a leg length of 3 feet

S = √32×3

S = √96

S = 9.798 ft/sec

Now, we will determine how many times greater 13.856 is than 9.798

13.856/9.798 = 1.41

Hence, the maximum walking speed of the Giraffe is 1.41 times greater than the maximum walking speed of the Hippopotamus
