The distance traveled by the balloon in every minute makes an arithmetic sequence with a first term equal to 40 ft and common difference equal to 20. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by,
                                     an = a1 + (n - 1) x d
Substituting,
                                      an = 40 + (15 - 1) x 20 = 320
Thus, the answer is letter B. 320 feet.

Answer:

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means the logarithm of a given number x is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base b, must be raised, to produce that number x.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational means that it is a whole number and can be written as a fraction. That doesn't apply for square rooted numbers. So, \sqrt{62} is irrational.

How do you graph y=2x-10
bixtya [17]
One of the easier approaches would be that of x- and y-intercepts.

Setting x=0 results in y=-10; the y-intercept is (0, -10).
Setting y = 0 results in x = 5, so the x-intercept is (5,0).

Plot these 2 points.  Then draw a str. line thru these points.

How to factor x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x + 36 by grouping
const2013 [10]

Answer:

(x-4) (x-3) (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x + 36

Make 2 groups

x^3 - 4x^2            - 9x + 36

We can factor out x^2 from the first group and -9 from the second group

x^2 (x-4)    - 9(x-4)

Now factor out (x-4)

(x-4) (x^2 -9)

This may be an answer choice but we can still factor

(x^2 -9) is the difference of squares

(x^2-9) = (x-3) (x+3)

Replacing this

(x-4) (x-3) (x+3)
