(a)
To identify: The dependent and the independent variables. Also, write a function to represent the total depth of the submersible in any number of minutes.
(a)
Answer to Problem 26IP
A function to represent the total depth of the submersible in any number of minutes is as follows:
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Distance the submersible travels =
Speed of the submersible =
Formula used:
Distance is given by the formula:
Calculation:
Let depth be d.
Let total time taken be t .
Since the depth, the submersible descends depends upontotal time taken, depth the submersible descends d is the dependent variable andthe time taken tis the independent variable.
A function to represent the total depth of the submersible in any number of minutes can be evaluated as follows:
