Remember that
1m=100cm
8m=800cm
800m=80,000cm
ANSWER
Find out the how long will the Yellow balloon be higher than the orange balloon.
To proof
Now the diagram is given below
As given
A yellow hot-air balloon is 100 feet off the ground and rising at rate of 8 feet per second.
i.e height of the yellow baloon off the ground = 100 feet
rising at rate = 8 feet per second.
.An orange hot-air balloon is 160 feet off the ground and rising at a rate of 5 feet per second.
i.e height of the orange baloon off the ground = 160 feet
rising at rate = 5feet per second.
Formula

Relative velocity = rising rate of yellow balloon - rising rate of orange balloon
= 8 -5
= 3 feet per second
Relative distance = height of the yellow baloon off the ground - height of the orange baloon off the ground
= 160 -100
= 60 feet
put in the formula

= 20 second
after 20 second Yellow balloon will be higher than the orange balloon.
Hence proved
This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
20 because of the whole is 40 and the shaded part is by 20 you just take half of 40 and you get 20
Part A :
So the two sides are equivalent,

Solve for x and get 3.
~~
Answer : x = 3
~~
Part B :
To find JM, simply substitute x for 3 and solve,


~^
Answer : JM = 9
