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

1. If a function f(x) is shifted to the left one unit, what function represents the transformation?
Vaselesa [24]
<span><u><em>The correct answers are: </em></u>
1) A;
2) A;
4) D 
3 cannot be done because the graph is not shown.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><span><u><em> </em></u>
1) Shifting a graph to the left, we would normally think of subtracting 1 from the function. However, horizontal translations are the opposite; left means adding 1 to x, while right means subtracting 1 from x.

2) A reflection in the x-axis means the y-coordinate will be negated (the opposite sign). This means that g(x)=-f(x)=-(x^2+5=-x^2-5.

4) To perform a vertical stretch of a function, we multiply by the factor; this gives us y=6x.</span></span>
