By the given scenario above and the condition that the height is increased by 70% every minute. The equation that would relate the number and the time, we have the equation,

      H = (Hi)(1.70)^(t)

Substituting the known values,
     H2 = (10 ft)*(1.70^4)
     H2 = 83.521 ft

Answer: 83.521 ft

The initial height of the balloon is 10 feet which then increases by 70% to (10 ×1.7) = 17 feet, then to (17 × 1.7) =28.9 feet, and so fourth if the rate of increase is kept constant. Therefore, forming a geometric sequence such that to get any term in the sequence we use the formula ar∧(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term in the sequence. In this case a is 10 and r= 1.7 , to get the height in the fourth minute it means n =5 (for the first term there is 0 minutes, such that for 0 minutes n= 1)
Thus, 10 × 1.7 ∧ 4 = 83.521 feet.
Therefore, the answer is 83.521 feet

Question: Solve for x.
kherson [118]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

(14+18)* 18 = x^2

32*18 = x^2

576 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(576) = sqrt(x^2)

24 =x
