Q. A big ship drops its anchor.E represents the anchor's elevation relative to the water's surface (in meters) as a function of time t (in seconds).E=−2.4t+75How far does the anchor drop every 5 seconds?□ meters
Calculate elevation change: First, we need to calculate the elevation change after 5 seconds. We plug t=5 into the equation E=−2.4t+75.
Substitute t=5: So, E=−2.4(5)+75.
Perform multiplication: That gives us E=−12+75.
Final elevation calculation: Now, we do the math: E=63 meters.
