Answer:
The final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface
Step-by-step explanation:
In this kind of problems, involving directions, etc, usually one position is the positive direction and the other position is the negative direction.
In our problem, we suppose that the surface is the positivo zero, above the surface is the positive position(positive depth) and below the surface is the negative directions(negative depth).
The problem states that Melissa is 29 meters below the surface. So, her initial position is 29 meters in the negative direction, so it is equal to -29.
Then, the problem states that Melissa rises upward 15 meters. Upward is the positive direction, so she moved to the positive direction. It means that we are going to do -29+15 = -14 meters.
It means that the final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t be the height of pole.
Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.
Height of pole = t + 15
Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.
Height of pole = 3t
So we have
t + 15 = 3t
2t = 15
t = 7.5 feet
Height of tree = 7.5 feet

Hey there!
For Part A, because the amount earned on Sunday isn't specified, we can call this additional income x. Because we're writing an expression, we don't need an equal sign. The expression will be (x + 14).
For Part B, "2 less than" will mean "– 2" and "twice than" will mean the amount of dogs that Alicia walked times 2. We can call the amount that Alicia walked y to avoid confusion with the last expression (though you could use whatever variable here) and your expression will be (2y – 2).
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Answer:
1.5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since f(x) represents the distance from the ground to the rock (in feet), we just need to find the values of x for which f(x) = 340. Substituting f(x) = 340 into f(x) = -16x² - 4x + 382 gives us:
340 = -16x² - 4x + 382
0 = -16x² - 4x + 42 (Subtract 340 from both sides)
16x² + 4x - 42 = 0 (Multiply entire equation by -1, "flip" equation)
8x² + 2x - 21 = 0 (Divide entire equation by 2)
(4x + 7)(2x - 3) = 0 (Factor LHS)
4x + 7 = 0 or 2x - 3 = 0 (Zero Product Property)
4x = -7 or 2x = 3 (Subtract -7 and add 3 from/to both sides, respectively)
or 
x = -1.75 is an extraneous solution because in the context of the question, you can't have negative seconds so therefore, the final answer is 1.5 seconds.
Hope this helps!
