Mr. mole left his burrow that lies below the ground and started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending at a rate of 1.8, 8 meters per minute. after 5minutes, he was 13.5, 5 meters below the ground. let a represent mr. mole's altitude (in meters) relative to the ground after t minutes. complete the equation for the relationship between the altitude and number of minutes.

A(t)=−1.8t−4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Mole is descending at a constant rate, so we are dealing with a linear relationship.

We know that Mr. Mole descended at a rate of 1.81.81, point, 8 meters per minute, so the slope \green mmstart color green, m, end color green is \green{-1.8}−1.8start color green, minus, 1, point, 8, end color green, and our function looks like A(t)=\green{-1.8}t+\pink bA(t)=−1.8t+bA, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals, start color green, minus, 1, point, 8, end color green, t, plus, start color pink, b, end color pink.

We also know that after 555 minutes, Mr. Mole was 13.513.513, point, 5 meters below the ground, which means that A(5)=-13.5A(5)=−13.5A, left parenthesis, 5, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 13, point, 5. We can substitute this into the formula of the function to find \pink bbstart color pink, b, end color pink:

\qquad\begin{aligned}A(5)&=-13.5\\ \green{-1.8}\cdot5+\pink b&=-13.5\\ -9+\pink b&=-13.5\\ \pink b&=\pink{-4.5}\end{aligned}  

A(5)

−1.8⋅5+b

−9+b

b

=−13.5

=−13.5

=−13.5

=−4.5

This means that Mr. Mole's initial altitude is 4.54.54, point, 5 meters below the ground.

AKA the answer is A(t)=−1.8t−4.5

step-by-step explanation:

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
