Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We expect the height of a helium balloon to be increasing, up to the point where it bursts.
The only graph that shows consistently increasing altitude with a final drop is graph D.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The graph of D shows the altitude increases at an increasing rate. The buoyancy force decreases with altitude, so we expect the balloon would actually have a decreasing rate of altitude increase. The actual curve would likely be concave downward.
Answer: 58/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: a
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph has a vertex at x=3, so eliminate d and e.
The graph's vertex is at x=1, so eliminate c.
The graph opens upward, so eliminate b.

Answer:
(a) -23
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is arithmetic with first term 3 and common difference -2. Then the general term is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
an = 3 -2(n -1)
and the 14th term is ...
a14 = 3 -2(14 -1) = 3 -2(13) = 3 -26
a14 = -23
