Answer:
1. Figure 3
2. 2881.4 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph in figure 3 has a curve that fits the data best because it captures most of the points unlike the other two curves.
The curve in figure 3 has the equation;
2.
When using x=8, substitute the value of x in the equation with 8 to get
y = -16.9*64 + 430*8 + 523
y= 2881.4
= 2881.4 cm³
The answer is 4. You do 12 times 1/3. This is because this is important in order to find out the answer. The answer is 4.
This problem is an example of solving equations with variables on both sides. To solve, we must first set up an equation for both the red balloon and the blue balloon.
Since the red balloon rises at 2.6 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 2.6s. The balloon is already 7.3 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 7.3 to the 2.6s:
2.6s + 7.3
Since the blue balloon rises at 1.5 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 1.5s. The balloon is already 12.4 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 12.4 to the 1.5:
1.5s + 12.4
To determine when both balloons are at the same height, we set the two equations equal to each other:
2.6s + 7.3 = 1.5s + 12.4
Then, we solve for s. First, the variables must be on the same side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1.5s from both sides of the equation:
1.1s + 7.3 = 12.4
Next, we must get s by itself. We work towards this by subtracting 7.3 from both sides of the equation:
1.1s = 5.1
Last, we divide both sides by 1.1. So s = 4.63.
This means that it will take 4.63 seconds for both balloons to reach the same height. If we want to know what height that is, we simply plug the 4.63 back into each equation:
2.6s + 7.3
= 2.6 (4.63) + 7.3
= 19.33
1.5s + 12.4
= 1.5 (4.63) + 12.4
= 19.33
After 4.63 seconds, the balloons will have reached the same height: 19.33 meters.
