Answer:

Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning and Henry's balloon traveled more quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of Tasha's balloon from the town is represented by the function y = 8x+ 20 ............. (1)

Where y is the distance in miles from the town and x represents the time of fly in hours.

So, at the start of the journey i.e. at x = 0, y = 20 miles {From equation (1)} from the town.

Again, Tasha's balloon is traveling at a rate of 8 miles per hour.

Now, Henry's balloon begins 30 miles from the town and is 48 miles from the town after 2 hours.

So, Henry's balloon traveling with the speed of miles per hour.

Therefore, Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning i.e. 30 miles from the town. And Henry's balloon traveled more quickly i.e at the rate of 9 miles per hour. (Answer)

fiasKO [112]

$\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV=\int_{y=-7}^{y=7}\int_{x=-\sqrt{49-y^2}}^{x=0}\int_{z=x}^{z=0}\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

Converting to cylindrical coordinates, the integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV=\int_{\theta=\pi/2}^{\theta=3\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=7}\int_{z=r\cos\theta}^{z=0}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle\int_{\theta=\pi/2}^{\theta=3\pi/2}\int_{r=0}^{r=7}-r^2\cos\theta\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=-\displaystyle\left(\int_{\theta=\pi/2}^{3\pi/2}\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)\left(\int_{r=0}^{r=7}r^2\,\mathrm dr\right)$
$=\dfrac{2\times7^3}3=\dfrac{686}3$

Answer:

Internal validity

Step-by-step explanation:

The internal validity here is weak

Internal validity describes the extent to which an evidence weighs the cause and effect claim. In this study, the internal validity that brought about failure in the new exam is mainly due to the environment where the exam was written and not the new exam itself.

So this validity is weak in claiming that the new exam is not a good substitute for the old exam.

Putting them in the same good environment might help the researchers to draw a better conclusion.
