Answer:

y=90x+2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

90 is the rate of change because the hot air balloon descends 90 feet per minute.

And 2,000 is the starting point because the hot air balloon started the descent at 2,000 feet.

Answer:

y(t)=(-90\frac{feet}{minute})t+2000feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear function in the form

y=mx+b

We are going to represent the situation using the linear function.

We are going to call the variable ''x'' time. We can write x = t ⇒

y=mt+b

y(t) will be the altitude function that depends on the variable ''t'' that is time in minutes.

In the instant t=0minutes the hot air balloon has an altitude of 2000 feet ⇒

y(0)=2000feet=m(0)+b=b ⇒ b=2000feet

We can think that the slope ''m'' is the constant rate of the function.

Given that the hot air balloon descends, m ⇒m=-90\frac{feet}{minute}

Now we write the function :

y=mt+b\\

y(t)=(-90\frac{feet}{minute})t+2000feet

For example, when t = 0 ⇒

y(0)=(-90\frac{feet}{minute}).0+2000feet=2000feet

Or if we want to find the time when the hot air balloon finally descends :

0=(-90\frac{feet}{minute})t+2000feet

t=\frac{-2000feet}{-90\frac{feet}{minute}}=22.222minutes

Talja [164]

Answer:

31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To at least buy the Air-Pods she will need to work at least 31 hours. You can either round at the beginning or end, I'll demonstrate rounding at the end.  Divide $278.10 by $9.00, getting 30.9. You would have to round up to insure you have enough money, getting 31 hours

Call the angles of depression D.

then tan(D)=20/30, or I

arctan(tan(D)) = arctan(⅔)

D=33.690. A is the answer

your calculator probably uses tan^-1 rather than arctan
