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
30 gallons of red paint & 20 gallons of blue paint
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of red to blue paint drops to make purple paint is 3 : 2
Therefore the total number of gallon, in this case, fifty (50) is equivalent to the total of two ratios (which is 3 + 2 5)
If 5 in the ratio = 50; what about 2 & 3
5 = 50
2 = x
After cross multiplication;
5x = 50 * 2
X = 100/5
X = 20
The same for ratio 3
5 = 50
3 = y
5y = 50 * 3
y = 150/5
y = 30
The answer is therefore; 30 gallons of red paint to 20 gallons of blue paint

Answer:
The new position of the bird is 1 ft below surface of pond.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Position of water bird after 15ft dive:
11-15= -4ft
- Position of water after rising 3 feet:
-4+3= -1ft
Therefor it id 1ft below the surface of the pond
