A hot air balloon leaves the ground and ascends at a rate of 5 feet per minute for 4 minutes.

1 answer:

5 0

When the balloon is on the ground, it is at point 0. It starts to go up at 5 f/m for a time of 4 minutes. So we will multiply 5 by 4 to get 20. At this point, the balloon is 20 feet off the ground. However, we now know that the balloon descends at 2 f/m at a time of 7 minutes. So we must multiply 2 by 7 to get 14. So we know it was at 20, and then it went down by 14.

20 - 14 = 6 feet

This means that the balloon is now 6 feet above the ground.

I hope I've helped! :)

$4^{4x-5}=8^{3x-4}\\\\(2^2)^{4x-5}=(2^3)^{3x-4}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\2^{2(4x-5)}=2^{3(3x-4)}\iff2(4x-5)=3(3x-4)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(2)(4x)+(2)(-5)=(3)(3x)+(3)(-4)\\\\8x-10=9x-12\qquad\text{add 10 to both sides}\\\\8x=9x-2\qquad\text{subtract 9x from both sides}\\\\-x=-2\to \boxed{x=2}$
