Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

a(t) = 210 - 5t

The attachment completes the question.

(a): What does t represent

t represents the time in minutes

(b): What does a(t) represent

This represents the altitude of the balloon at time t

(c): What information will a(5.5) give?

The information it will give is the altitude of the balloon at 5.5 minutes

And this altitude is calculated as follows

Substitute 5.5 for t in a(t) = 210 - 5t

a(5.5) = 210 - 5 * 5.5

a(5.5) = 210 - 27.5

a(5.5) = 182.5

<em>The balloon will be at an altitude of 182.5 at 5.5 minutes</em>

Answer:

Answer – C. (The graph is continuous because there can be fractional values for time) First we must understand that there can be fractional values for time; time can take on any value value within a finite or infinite interval, and as such is a continuous variable. Therefore, the graph is continuous.

HELPPPPPPPPPPP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE

I think that in this passage the phrase "pack through" means carrying one's belongings on saddle packs on the horses and leaving the wagons (covered wagons?) behind to travel faster to get to the California gold fields sooner. Mr Johnson decided not to travel this way and instead harnessed his horse to the Frink's wagon and they continued as before. The following excerpt intimates what "pack through" means without actually saying it in those many words. "<span>Mr. Wand and his company have left their wagons here and made pack-saddles, intending to pack their clothing, blankets, provisions, and cooking utensils on their animals, in order to travel faster".</span>

What is the theme of Model Millionaire
kogti [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The model millionaire – Oscar Wilde

The model millionaire is a short story written by Oscar Wilde in 1871. The theme of the short story deals with a very materialistic aspect of life in a mercantile world in which the protagonist Hughie Erskine is a complete misfit. Despite of the attractive appearance and charming personality, his lack of money prohibits him from marrying the girl he loves – Laura. Her father demands a total of £10.000 to prove his worth to him and accept him as a son in law. The demand is only of economical character, because of the fact that Hughie quick and easily achieved the acceptance of the father as a person. This issue defines the very essence of the short story, of which it becomes clear that "romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed." But is that so in the real, contemporary world? Is love only appropriate in the world of the privileged or is it achievable for anyone? This attitude is quite an old fashion way of thinking which is very appropriate of the time period in which the text is written and so the modern man would probably controvert the statement. A controversy claiming that love is a spirit with ability to posses anyone and so the modern expression “Love is for everyone” manifests itself.

A second theme in the short story is represented in terms of kindness. It is expressed to its fullest that being kind pays out in the end. Hughie shows his kind side when he generously offers the ‘beggar’ his last money (a sovereign), ignorant to that fact that he is actually a rich baron. This generous gesture turns out to be of huge importance as it forms the basis for the Baron to sponsor the money required. This emphasizes that even in a thoroughly materialistic world, tender qualities and human values are not to be dispensed. This detail comes to be quite important because it reminds the reader of the…...
