The linear function that describes Juan's elevation during his descent is:
B. y = -1460x + 7500.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
In this problem, each hour, the height decays by 1460, hence the slope is of m = -1460, then:
y = -1460x + b.
The y-intercept is found considering that when x = 1, y = 6040, hence:
b = 6040 + 1460 = 7500.
Which means that option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
After 11 years the value of the investment reaches $1500.00
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula used for finding time (when the value reaches certain amount) is:
where A= Future VAlue
P= Principal Value
r= rate of interest (in decimal)
n= no of times investment is compounded
t= time
Putting the values given and finding Time t,
A= $1500
P= $1200
r= 2% or 0.02
n= 4 (compound quarterly)
Dividing both sides by 1200 and solving 0.02/4 = 0.005
Since t is in power we take the logarithm ln on both sides.
The rule of logarithm says that the exponent can be multiplied with the base when taking log
Subtract 13 from both sides.
-13
-7 = -20
-2x = -20
Divide by 2 on both sides.
Remember: Negative divided by a negative makes a positive.
-2/-2 = 1
-20/-2 = 10
Your answer:
x = 10
