Answer:

The balloons new height is 1,100\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes

y ----> the height of a hot air balloon in feet

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

The slope is equal to

m=-120\ ft\ per\ minute ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

The y-intercept is equal to

b=2,180\ ft

substitute

y=-120x+2,180

For x=9 minutes

substitute in the linear equation

y=-120(9)+2,180

y=1,100\ ft

Simplify eighth root of y squared
NARA [144]

Answer:

<u>The simplified expression is y raised to the 2/8 power</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that one of the properties of fractional exponents is:

x ^ a/b = ᵇ√x ᵃ

​​ therefore,

⁸√y² = y ^2/8

<u>The simplified expression is y raised to the 2/8 power</u>

From a list of ten books, how many groups of 4 books can be selected
andreyandreev [35.5K]

First you have all ten books, but then every time after, you loose one because you can't put the same book in the group twice.

10 * 9 * 8 * 7 = 5040 groups

The Quadratic Equation c² + 6c+ 8 = 0<br><br> Show work please
Bad White [126]
The formula for the quadratic formula is x (c in this case) = (-b(+/-)√(b²-4ac))/2a
This is used for an equation in standard quadratic form: ax² + bx + c = 0
1.) Put it in the correct form, if not already in it.
Ex. c² + 6c + 8 = 0
2.) Identify each part of the equation:
a = 1 (the leading coefficient), b = 6 (the coefficient in front of the second variable), c = 8
3.) Plug in each variable answer
c = (-6(+/-)√(6²-4(1)(8))/2(1)
4.) Simplify
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-(4*8))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-32))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(4))/2
c = (-6(+/-)2)/2
*Here, the equation splits in two. It becomes:
c = (-6+2)/2 AND c = (-6-2)/2
*Simplify again:
c = -4/2 AND c = -8/2
c = -2 AND c = -4
The answers c = -2 and c = -4 would solve the given equation.
Hope this helps! :)
