Answer:

  not enough information

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing altitude by hours, we find the ratios to be 400/2 = 200 ft/h and 700/6 = 116 2/3 ft/h.

These are not the same ratio, so altitude is not proportional to time.

___

However, that's not what the question asks. It ask about rate of change. We only have enough information to determine the rate of change between hour 2 and hour 6 is 300 ft in 4 hours, or 75 ft/hour. Since we don't have any other rate of change information, we cannot determine if the rate of change is proportional to anything.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

We suspect the question is simply worded poorly, and that we're supposed to determine if altitude is proportional to hours. (It is not). If that is actually the question, "rate of change" needs to be left out of the question.

as a contractor to make a hole 4 5/8 inches diameter. express the mixed number as an improper fraction.
san4es73 [151]

The mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8

<h3>How to express the mixed number as an improper fraction?</h3>

The diameter is give as:

Diameter = 4 5/8

Next we convert the above number to an improper fraction

The numerator is calculated as

Numerator = 8 * 4 + 5

This gives

Numerator = 37

Hence, the mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8

Explain how to determine it a function is exponential growth or exponential decay. Give an example of each.
kozerog [31]

Answer: Formula is given in the picture Step-by-step explanation: For the exponential growth we have the formula Exponential functions are in the form  y = ab^ xIf  a is positive and b  is greater than  1, then it is exponential growth. If a is positive and b is less than 1 but greater than 0, then it is exponential decay. For Example2 months ago you had 3 mice, you now have 18 shows and exponential growth And Atmospheric pressure (the pressure of air around you) decreases as you go higher shows exponential decay.

Which expression is equivalent to (3b +2r) + (4b + r )
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The one that looks most closely to this.

(3b + 2r) + (4b + r)                 Remove the brackets.

3b + 2r + 4b + r                     Rewrite so the terms are close to each other.

3b + 4b + 2r + r                     Combine

7b + 3r    or

3r + 7b

One of the two of these can be given as an answer. Please give choices if you want me to give an exact answer.
