Math Problem Statement
A scientist uses a submarine to study ocean life.
She begins 125 feet below sea level.
After traveling down for 10 seconds, she's 209 feet below sea level.
Find the rate of change in the submarine's elevation in feet per second. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.
