Two hot air balloons are traveling along the same path away from a town, beginning from different locations at the same time. He
nry´s balloon begins 30 miles from the town and is 48 miles from the town after 2 hours. The distance of Tasha´s balloon from the town is represented by the function y= 8x +20.
which balloon was farther from the town at the beginning, and which traveled more quickly?

Answer:
D. Henry's started farther, went faster
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry's balloon traveled 18 additional miles (from 30 to 48) in 2 hours, so had a speed of 18mi/(2h) = 9 mi/h. The equation for his position could be ...
y = 9x +30 . . . . . 9 is the rate of change; 30 is the initial value
__
Comparing this to Tasha's position function, we see her balloon started 20 miles from town and traveled 8 miles per hour.
__
Henry started farther from town and traveled faster.

Use the PT to solve for this. Use the dotted lines to find a and b. see attached. Its a little messy..........oops xD
Hello Naunherimerin. To find the side of a cube with a volume of 520 we can use the cube root since it is the opposite of a cube^3 So lets do that real fast.
Cube both sides
![\sqrt[3]{520} = \sqrt[3]{s^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B520%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bs%5E3%7D)
![\sqrt[3]{520} = s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B520%7D%20%3D%20s)
![2\sqrt[3]{65} = s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B65%7D%20%3D%20s)
![s = 2\sqrt[3]{65} = 8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%20%3D%202%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B65%7D%20%3D%208)
Cube both sides
