A child lets go of a balloon that rises at a constant rate. 5 seconds after it was released, the balloon is at a height of 16 fe

Mama L [17]

Answer:

1. h = 2.4t + 4

2. 4 feet

3. 220 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a linear model for the height, h, of the balloon as a function of the number of seconds, s that it has been raising.

Since the balloon rises at a constant rate, we find this rate by using the initial and final values of height and time at 5 seconds and 20 seconds respectively which are 12 feet and 52 feet respectively.

So, rate = gradient of line

= change in height/change in time

= (52 ft - 16 ft)/(20 s - 5 s)

= 36 ft/15 s

= 2.4 ft/s

Now the equation of the line which shows the height is gotten from

(h - h')/(t - t') = rate

Using h'= 16 feet and t' = 5 s, we have

(h - 16)/(t - 5) = 2.4

h - 16 = 2.4(t - 5)

h - 16 = 2.4t - 12

h = 2.4t - 12 + 16

h = 2.4t + 4

where h is the height of the balloon above the ground and t is the time spent in the air in seconds.

2. What was the height of the balloon initially before the child let it go?

We obtain the initial height of the balloon before the child let go at time, t = 0 the time before the child let go.

So, substituting t = 0 into the equation for h, we have

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(0) + 4

h = 0 + 4

h = 4 feet

So, the height of the balloon before the child let go is 4 feet above the ground.

3. Use your model to predict the height of the balloon after 90 seconds.

We insert t = 90 s into the equation for h. So,

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(90) + 4

h = 216 + 4

h = 220 feet

So, the height of the balloon after 90 s is 220 feet above the ground.

Please explain this to me!

One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.

That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.

This equation is y = 4 / x .

To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.

Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:

Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1

Look at this:

Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .

Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .

The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.

So the equation is NOT linear.

Try it again with three points of your own.

X subtract 9 equals 3 / 5X

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x-9=\frac{3}{5}x$

First, lets get rid of the fraction. I did this by multiplying both sides by $5$ .

$5(x-9)=5(\frac{3}{5}x)\\5x-45=\frac{5}{1} *\frac{3}{5}x\\5x-45=\frac{15}{5}x\\5x-45=3x$

We want to isolate $x$ on one side of this equation. Let's put any values with $x$ on one side of the equation, and normal integers on the other.

$2x=45$

Divide both sides by $2$ .

$x=\frac{45}{2}$

If your teacher wants you to leave your final answer as an improper fraction, your final answer is this. If they want it to be a mixed number or decimal, your final answer will be:

$x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5$
