A small submarine starts at –1,260 feet in relation to sea level. Then it descends 5 feet per minute for 12 minutes.

What integer represents the rate of motion of the submarine?


feet per minute


Sagot :

Okay so our starting point is - 1,260 feet

Now it is descending (-) 5 ft per minute for 12 minutes

So we multiply -5 (negative because it is descending) by 12

-5 x 12 = -60

So now we add -60 to -1,260

This would be -1,320

So the submarine's new position in relation to the sea level is -1,320

Hope this helped. Have a great day!

that would be -1260 + 12(-5) = -1260 - 60 = -1320 feet
