The variable ll l l models the anchor's elevation (in meters) relative to the water's surface tt t t seconds after the ship drops its anchor. l=−2.4t+75l=-2.4t+75 l=−2.4t+75 l, equals, minus, 2, point, 4, t, plus, 75 What is the initial height of the anchor? meters Report a problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial height of the anchor is 75 meters.          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$l(t)=-2.4t+75$

where, I is the anchor's elevation in meter after t seconds dropped from the ship.

We have to find the initial height of anchor that is we have to put t = 0  in the equation.

Putting t = 0, we get,

$l(0)=-2.4(0)+75 = 75$

Thus, initial height of the anchor is 75 meters.
