An inequality which compares the changes in elevation of this hot air balloon while in flight is given by L - 83 2/5 ≤ L ≤ L + 83.7.

<h3>What is an elevation?</h3>

An elevation is also referred to as an altitude and it can be defined as the vertical distance (height) above a natural satellite or the surface of planet Earth such as land or sea level.

This ultimately implies that, an elevation (altitude) simply refers to the vertical height (elevation) of an object or physical body above a particular location or planetary reference plane such as land or sea level on planet Earth.

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality can be defined as a mathematical relation that compares two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation based on any of the following arguments (symbols):

  • Less than (<).
  • Greater than (>).
  • Less than or equal to (≤).
  • Greater than or equal to (≥).

For this exercise, let the variable L represent the initial height of this balloon. Also, since the hot air balloon decreased its elevation by 83 2/5 and increases its elevation by 83.7 meters, we have the following:

  • The lower limit is equal to: L - 83 2/5.
  • The upper limit is equal to: L + 83.7.

In this context, an inequality which models the changes in elevation of this hot air balloon is L - 83 2/5 ≤ L ≤ L + 83.7.

F(x)=x what is the equation of the new function shift 8 units left shift 3 units down
nasty-shy [4]
Think of the equation of a linear function:  
Recall y = mx + b   for vertical shifts, we just add or subtract from 'b' and that will move the line up or down accordingly.. However, for horizontal shifts, we will need to add or subtract from 'x'.  Note that the slope or 'm' stays the same for each type of shift.  

Now that we know how the shifts occur, we might consider a different form of the equation for a linear function:  y = a(x - h) + k  here the 'a' is just our slope, 'k' is our original y intercept, and 'h' will represent the amount of horizontal shift.  

So to get the desired transformations of a horizontal shift to the left of 8 and a vertical shift of down 3 from our original function y = x, we can make the following changes:   y = (x + 8) - 3  Now you might be confused with how we got the 'x + 8'..   Let's consider values of 'h'.  For positive values of h, the result will be a shift to the right and for negative values of h the result will be a shift to the left.  So since we want a shift to the left we need to use a '-8' and when we substitute that into our new form, y = (x - h) + k you can see the sign change.  

Now we can simplify of course and get the final equation: y = x + 5 or in function form f(x) = x + 5
