Answer:

63 meters from the ship.

Explanation:

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) then

E = - 2.4t + 75 ........... (1)

Now, we have to calculate the depth of the anchor after 5 seconds of dropping from the ship.

Therefore, E = - (2.4 × 5) + 75 = 63 meters from the ship. (Answer)
