Another submarine's descent can be represented as `y=-240x`, where u is the elevation and x is time in hours. How long will it t

ake this submarine to make the descent (2,100 feet below the surface)?

Answer:

The time it will take is 8hours 45mins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y = –240x represents a submarine descent. We are looking for how long, that is the time, it will take for the submarine to make a descent of 2100. We know that y is the elevation, if it is descending it will be in the negative direction, making it -ve.

A descent of 2100 means y = –2100. Hence,

–2100 = –240x

x = –2100/–240 = 8.75hours = 8hours 45minutes. (0.75hours = 3/4hours = 3/4 x 60mins = 45mins).

Determine if the point (-2,2) a solution to the inequality y<3x+2.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

No, it's not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by plugging in the values x=-2 and y=2 that are from your point (-2,2):

y<3x+2    

2<3(-2)+2          

2<-4 This inequality is false, so no, it's not a solution

Help me out question #9
Alex777 [14]
The original height of the plant is 20 inches, and each week for 4 weeks its height increases by 2h inches, so at the end of 4 weeks its height would be:
20 + 4(2h) = 20 + 8h
Now for the next two weeks the plant grows in height by h inches each week, so we need to add a further 2h inches to the equation. Thus the expression that shows the height of the plant after 6 weeks is:
20 + 8h + 2h = 20 + 10h, therefor A is the correct answer
