Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of minutes
y ----> the balloon's height in feet
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope
b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept
In this problem we have that
The slope is equal to
----> is negative because is a decreasing function

Remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
In this context the y-intercept is the height of the balloon when the time is equal to zero (initial height)
substitute

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1)=3 3(2)=6 3(3)=9 3(4)=12 3(5)=15
3(6)=18 3(7)=21 3(8)=24
----------------------------------------------------
3(6)=18 is closest to 20
so the greatest number of batches Xiaoming can make is 6.
22.1
She added 5 so you take away 5 which would be 44.2 then she doubles it another word for multiplication so you do the opposite and divide by 2 and you get 22.1
(4^2)^8 would be the answer 4^2=16 and 16^8 is the same thing
