A hot air balloon descends to the ground. The function h(t) = 210 – 15t can be used to describe the altitude of the balloon as i

t approaches the ground. Which statement best describes the graph of the function that models the descent of the balloon?
A) The graph is discrete because there cannot be fractional values for time.
B) The graph is discrete because there cannot be negative values for altitude.
C) The graph is continuous because there can be fractional values for time.
D) The graph is continuous because there can be negative values for altitude.

Answer:

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a hot air balloon descends to the ground.

The function

h(t) = 210 - 15t

can be used to describe the altitude of the balloon as it approaches the ground.

Here t = time and h = height

Since t cannot be negative we can t starting from 0

t can take any fractional value and h is well defined for any value of t positive

So option c is right

A man rides a bicycle a distance of 48 miles in a certain amount of time. If the man increased his speed by 2 miles per hour, he
seropon [69]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

so, in his usual speed, say is hmm "r" mph, so in his usual "r" speed, he rolls on for the 48 miles and it takes him "t" hours to get there.

now, if he increases his speed by 2 mph, then his new speed is "r + 2", and he arrives there 4 hours earlier, so if he took "t" hours going at "r" speed, then when he's going faster at "r + 2", he only takes "t - 4" hours, for the same 48 miles.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;\textit{usual speed}&48&r&t\\&#10;\textit{faster speed}&48&r+2&t-4&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;48=rt\implies \frac{48}{r}=\boxed{t}\\&#10;48=(r+2)(t-4)\\&#10;----------\\&#10;48=(r+2)\left( \boxed{\frac{48}{r}}-4 \right)&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;48=(r+2)\left( \cfrac{48-4r}{r} \right)\implies 48r=(r+2)(48-4r)&#10;

\bf 48r=48r-4r^2+96-8r\implies 0=-4r^2+96-8r&#10;\\\\\\&#10;4r^2+8r-96=0\implies r^2+2r-24=0&#10;\\\\\\&#10;(r+6)(r-4)=0\implies r=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;-6\\&#10;\boxed{4}&#10;\end{cases}

it cannot be a negative value, since is just a forward speed rate, so can't be -6.

A rectangle with an area of 4/7 meters squared is dilated by a factor of 7. What is the area of the dilated rectangle?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time you multiply both sides of a rectangle by a number x, its area if multiplied by x^{2}.

In our example:

Area of a rectangle = width . length

width = 4

length   = 7

A_{1} = 4 . 7 = 28

When you multiply both sides by 7:

width = 4 . 7 = 28

length = 7 . 7 = 49

A_{2}  = 28 . 49

A_{2}  = 1372

A_{2}  / A_{1} = 1372 / 28 = 49 = (7)^{2}

Both sides multiplied by 7 => Area multiplied by 7^{2}

Got it?
