An emperor penguin dives down into the ocean at a constant rate. From the surface, he dives 1,760 feet in 8 minutes. The number -1760 represents the location of the penguin in relation to the surface. What number represents the location of the penguin in relation to the surface 2 minutes after beginning his dive?

location after 2 minutes dive from the surface = -440 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that he dives 1,760 feet in 8 minutes.

Now, we are told that he dives down at a constant rate.

Thus means that the distance he dives per minute can be gotten.

Distance dived per minute = 1760/8 = 220 feet/minutes

Now, we want to find the location of the penguin in relation to the surface 2 minutes after beginning his dive.

Thus;

Distance after 2 minutes = 220 feet/minutes × 2 minutes = 440 feet

Now, because the dive is below the surface, the location will be negative.

Thus, location after 2 minutes dive from the surface = -440 feet

answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

step-by-step explanation:

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

distribute to get into standard form

2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

a = 2, b= -3, c = -2

a is your answer
