Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Ten minutes ago, the diver was  450  feet below sea level.Step-by-step explanation:Since the diver is being pulled up, measuring his movement for the past  10 minutes requires that we use  −25  for the movement over those  10  minutes. So, his depth  10 minutes ago is given by the expression−200−25(10)−200−250−450So,  10  minutes ago, the diver was  450 feet below sea level.
