A hot air ballon went from an elevation of 6,669 feet to an elevation of 3,402 in 54 minutes. What was its rate of descent?

Answer:

elevation refers to the height of the balloon. Descent refers to moving down, and rate of descent refers to how quickly the balloon moved down.

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute. That's a fast moving balloon!

Step-by-step explanation:

A forestry company hopes to generate credits from the carbon sequestered in its plantations.The equation describing the forest w
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

The equation describing the forest wood biomass per hectare as a function of plantation age t is:

y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4

The equation that describes the annual growth in wood biomass is:

y ′ (t) = 0.01t + 0.072t^2 - 0.018t^3

To find:

a) The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value

b) when does y ′ (t) achieve its highest value?

a)

To determine the year the highest possible value was achieved, we will set the derivative y'(t) to zero. The values of t will be substituted into the second derivative to get the highest value

\begin{gathered} 0\text{ = 0.01t + 0.072t}^2\text{ - 0.018t}^3 \\ using\text{ a graphing tool,} \\ t\text{  = -0.1343} \\ \text{t = 0} \\ t\text{ = 4.1343} \\  \\ Since\text{ we can't have time as a negative value, t = 0 or t = 4.1343} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} To\text{ ascertain which is the maximum, we take a second derivative} \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen = 0.01 + 0.144t - 0.054t}^2 \\  \\ substitute\text{ t = 0 and t = 4.13 respectively} \\ when\text{ t = 0 } \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0.144\lparen0\rparen - 0.054\lparen0\rparen}^2 \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0 - 0} \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 > 0} \\  \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0.144\lparen4.13\rparen - 0.054\lparen4.13\rparen}^2 \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= -0.316 < 0} \\  \\ if\text{ }y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen > 0 , then it is minimum, } \\ if\text{ }y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen < 0, then it is maximum} \end{gathered}

SInce t = 4.13, gives y ′' (t) = -0.316 (< 0). This makes it the maximum value of t

The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value to the nearest whole number will be

year 4

b) y ′ (t) will achieve its highest value, when we substitute the value of t that gives into the initial function.

Initial function: y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4

Given that these simultaneous equations
Tatiana [17]

The value of k is(3\sqrt{ 10})/2

<h3>How to solve the simultaneous equation?</h3>

Given:

x-y=k.............(eq i)

2x²+y²-15..............(eq ii)

We would make y the subject formula in eq ii

2x²+y²-15= 0

2x² + y²= 15

y²= 15-2x²

y= \sqrt{15-2x^2}...........(eq iii)

Substitute the value of y into eq i

x-(\sqrt{15-2x^2}= k

x- (\sqrt{15} - 2x= k

k= (3\sqrt{ 10})/2
