This problem is an example of solving equations with variables on both sides. To solve, we must first set up an equation for both the red balloon and the blue balloon. 

Since the red balloon rises at 2.6 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 2.6s. The balloon is already 7.3 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 7.3 to the 2.6s: 

2.6s + 7.3

Since the blue balloon rises at 1.5 meters per second, we can represent this part of the equation as 1.5s. The balloon is already 12.4 meters off of the ground, so we just add the 12.4 to the 1.5:

1.5s + 12.4

To determine when both balloons are at the same height, we set the two equations equal to each other: 

2.6s + 7.3 = 1.5s + 12.4

Then, we solve for s. First, the variables must be on the same side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1.5s from both sides of the equation: 

1.1s + 7.3 = 12.4

Next, we must get s by itself. We work towards this by subtracting 7.3 from both sides of the equation: 

1.1s = 5.1

Last, we divide both sides by 1.1. So s = 4.63. 

This means that it will take 4.63 seconds for both balloons to reach the same height. If we want to know what height that is, we simply plug the 4.63 back into each equation: 

2.6s + 7.3
= 2.6 (4.63) + 7.3
= 19.33

1.5s + 12.4
= 1.5 (4.63) + 12.4
= 19.33

After 4.63 seconds, the balloons will have reached the same height: 19.33 meters.

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value. Functions f(2/3)=2/9 for f(x)=2x²-4x+2 and f(1/4)==-21/4 for  f(x)=4x²+2x-6

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

The given function is

f(x)=2x²-4x+2

Put x=2/3

f(2/3)=2(2/3)²-4(2/3)+2

=2(4/9)-8/3+2

=8/9-8/3+2

=(8-24+18)/9

f(2/3)=2/9

Now f(x)=4x²+2x-6

Put x=1/4

f(1/4)=4(1/4)²+2(1/4)-6

=4/16+2/4-6

=1/4+1/2-6

= 1+2-24/4

f(1/4)==-21/4

Hence functions f(2/3)=2/9 for f(x)=2x²-4x+2 and f(1/4)==-21/4 for  f(x)=4x²+2x-6

Which shows the correct simplification of product of powers?
Brums [2.3K]
The power symbols are missing.

I can infere that the product intended to simplify is (7^8) * (7^-4)., because that permits you to use the rule of the product of powers with the same base.

That rule is that the product of two powers with the same base is the base raised to the sum of the powers is:

(A^m) * (A^n) = A^ (m+n)

=>(7^8) * (7^-4) =  7^ [8 + (- 4) ] = 7^ [8 - 4] = 7^4, which is the option 3 if the powers are placed correctly.

A rectangular prism has a length that is 3 inches shorter than the height and a width that is 5 inches longer than the height. F
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

An equation for the volume of the prism as a function of the height is Volume = h³ + 2h² - 15h.

  • We are given a rectangular prism.
  • A rectangular prism is no different than a cuboid.
  • Let the height of the rectangular prism be "h".
  • The length of the rectangular prism is "h-3".
  • The width of the rectangular prism is "h+5".
  • The volume of the rectangular prism is the same as that of the cuboid.
  • The volume of the rectangular prism is the product of its length, its width, and its height.
  • The volume of the rectangular prism is (h - 3)*(h + 5)*h.
  • An equation for the volume of the prism as a function of the height is :
  • Volume = (h - 3)*(h + 5)*h
  • Volume = (h² + 2h - 15)*h
  • Volume = h³ + 2h² - 15h
