Amalia is scuba diving at a position 24.25 feet below sea level. She descends 0.5 foot each minute for 25 minutes. What is Amalia’s position compared to sea level after 25 minutes?

36.75 feet below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Feet she descended in 25min

=0.5×25

=12.25

Therefore, the total feet she dived to

=12.25+24.25

=36.75

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
