A child lets go of a balloon that rises at a constant rate. 5 seconds after it was released, the balloon is at a height of 16 feet above the ground. After 20 seconds of rising, it is at a height of 52 feet above the ground. 1. Write a linear model for the height, h, of the balloon as a function of the number of seconds, s that it has been raising. 2. What was the height of the balloon initially before the child let it go? 3. Use your model to predict the height of the balloon after 90 seconds. Only an algebraic solution will receive credit.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. h = 2.4t + 4

2. 4 feet

3. 220 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a linear model for the height, h, of the balloon as a function of the number of seconds, s that it has been raising.

Since the balloon rises at a constant rate, we find this rate by using the initial and final values of height and time at 5 seconds and 20 seconds respectively which are 12 feet and 52 feet respectively.

So, rate = gradient of line

= change in height/change  in time

= (52 ft - 16 ft)/(20 s - 5 s)

= 36 ft/15 s

= 2.4 ft/s

Now the equation of the line which shows the height is gotten from

(h - h')/(t - t') = rate

Using h'= 16 feet and t' = 5 s, we have

(h - 16)/(t - 5) = 2.4

h - 16 = 2.4(t - 5)

h - 16 = 2.4t - 12

h = 2.4t - 12 + 16

h = 2.4t + 4

where h is the height of the balloon above the ground and t is the time spent in the air in seconds.

2. What was the height of the balloon initially before the child let it go?

We obtain the initial height of the balloon before the child let go at time, t = 0 the time before the child let go.

So, substituting t = 0 into the equation for h, we have

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(0) + 4

h = 0 + 4

h = 4 feet

So, the height of the balloon before the child let go is 4 feet above the ground.

3. Use your model to predict the height of the balloon after 90 seconds.

We insert t = 90 s into the equation for h. So,

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(90) + 4

h = 216 + 4

h = 220 feet

So, the height of the balloon after 90 s is 220 feet above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two secants are drawn from a point outside the circle, then the product of the lengths of one secant and its external segment equals the product of the lengths of the other secant and its external segment

Let us solve the question.

∵ There is a circle in the given figure

∵ There are two secants intersected at a point outside the circle

∵ The length of one of them = 8

∵ The length of its external segment = x

∵ The length of the other secant = 4 + 8 = 12

∵ The length of its external segment = 4

→ By using the rule above

8 × x = 12 × 4

∴ 8x = 48

→ Divide both sides by 8

x = 6

The radius of a circular field is 35m. Calculate the area path 3.5m wide running inside the field.

Answers

Answer: Twenty one meeters!!

Answer:  The area of the path running around the inside edge of the field is  731.2 m²

If the path is across the middle of the field, the area of that path is about 245m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the field is 35m, subtracting 3.5 from that leaves the radius of the inside edge of the path at 31.5 m

The area of the path will be the difference between the two areas.

π × 35² = 3848.45

π × 31.5² = 3117.25

3848.45 - 3117.45 = 731.2

If the path is across the middle of the field, use the diameter, 70m,  times the width of the path, 3.5m,  to find the area of that path: 245m²

I hope this helps.

one month jane rented 9 movies and 7 video games for a total of $56 the next month she rented 3 movies and 5 video games for a total of $34 find the rental cost for each movie and each video game

Answers

You are trying to find the values of two quantities, so you will need to set up a system of two equations in two variables. We'll call M the price of a move and V the price of a video game.

The first month: 9 movies, 7 video games, $56. Let's translate this into algebra:

9M + 7V = 56

The second month: 3 movies, 5 video games, $72. Translated:

3M + 5V = 34

Solve that system of equations.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: (Equation 2) = 12(-12+9y/4) - 10y = -8

-144+108y/4 - 10y = -8

-144 + 108y - 40y/4 = -8

-144 + 108y - 40y = -32

108y - 40y = -32+144

68y = 112

Y= 1.64

2-4x+9y=14

12x-10y= -8

2-14+9y = 4x

-12 + 9y = 4x ( equation 3)

(Put in equation 2)

Answer:

-4x + 9y = 14 answer is x = [tex]\frac{9}{4}y+ \frac{-7}{2}[/tex]

12x - 10y = -8 answer is x = [tex]\frac{5}{6}y +\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for x

-4x + 9y = 14

add -9y to both sides

-4x + 9y + -9y = 14 + -9y

-4x = -9y + 14

divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4 = -9y + 14/-4

Anwser

x = [tex]\frac{9}{4}y + \frac{-7}{2}[/tex]

solve for x

12x - 10y = -8

add 10y to both sides

12x - 10y + 10y = -8 + 10y

12x = 10y -8

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 10y - 8/12

Anwser

x = [tex]\frac{5}{6}y +\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]
