Understanding Signed Numbers in Submarine Depths

The video tutorial explains how to represent the depth of a submarine using signed numbers. Initially, the submarine is 1200 feet below the surface, represented as -1200 feet. It then rises 300 feet, changing its depth to -900 feet. The tutorial uses this scenario to introduce the concept of adding integers, demonstrating how to calculate the new depth by adding -1200 and 300. The video also illustrates depth changes using increments of 300 feet to help visualize the concept.

What is the initial depth of the submarine below the surface?

• 1200 feet above the surface

• 1200 feet below the surface

• 300 feet below the surface

• 300 feet above the surface

How is the submarine's initial position represented using signed numbers?

• Positive 1200 feet

• Negative 1200 feet

• Positive 300 feet

• Negative 300 feet

If the submarine rises 100 feet from its initial position, what would be its new depth?

• Negative 900 feet

• Negative 1200 feet

• Negative 1000 feet

• Negative 1100 feet

After rising 300 feet, what is the submarine's new depth?

• Negative 300 feet

• Negative 600 feet

• Negative 900 feet

• Negative 1200 feet

What is the depth halfway between negative 600 feet and negative 1200 feet?

• Negative 600 feet

• Negative 900 feet

• Negative 300 feet

• Negative 1200 feet

How can the submarine's rise be represented as an addition problem?

• Negative 1200 plus 300 equals negative 1200

• Negative 1200 plus 300 equals negative 300

• Negative 1200 plus 300 equals negative 600

• Negative 1200 plus 300 equals negative 900

What is the significance of using signed numbers in this context?

• To show the submarine's color

• To indicate the direction of movement

• To calculate the submarine's weight

• To represent the submarine's speed
