First, simplify the radicals
√125=√(5*5*5)=(√5*5)(√5)=5√5
so 3√125=3*5√5=15√5
and √16=4
so
15√(5)-4 is the simplified version
I feel like it’s d because it is changed to the other form

You were right, its the second choice CA=CB+BA
Answer:
Her initial position was:
-29ft
Where we use the minus sign because this is below the ocean's surface.
Now we also know that she keeps descending at a rate of -29ft per minute, then if she keeps descending for t minutes, her position will be:
P(x) = -29ft - 29ft/min*t
Now, we also know that she does not want to descend more than 81ft below the ocean's surface, then we have the inequality:
P(x) ≥ -81ft
-29ft - 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft
Now let's isolate t in one side:
- 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft + 29ft = -52 ft
- 29ft/min*t ≥-52 ft
t ≤ -52ft/(- 29ft/min) = 1.79 min
Then the maximum amount of time that she can keep descending is 1.79 minutes.
