A hot air balloon can hold 90,000 cubic feet of air. It is being inflated at a rate of 6,000 cubic feet per minute. The total cubic feet of air a(t) is a function of the in minutes t. a. Identify the independent and dependent variables. b. What values of the domain and range make sense for this situation? Explain. c. Write a function to represent the total amount of air. Then determine the total amount of air in 6 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: a. The independent variable is the variable whose variation does not depend on that of another, it is often denoted by x.
In our case independent variable is time in minutes
The dependent variable is the volume of air in the balloon. 

b] The domain of the of this situation is:
[0≤t≤15]
this is because t will take 15 minutes for the balloon to get filled.

The range of the situation will be:
[0≤a(t)≤90000]

c]The function that represents this situation is a linear function given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=rate/slope
b= initial amount of air in the balloon=0
Thus our function will be:
a(t)=6000t

d]
The total amount of air in the balloon after 6 minutes will be given by:
from
a(t)=6000t
a(6)=6000(6)
a(6)=36000 cubic feet

Hey!

What this question wants you to do is use PEDMAS, that is the order of operations, to get the answer.
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
D - Division
M - Multipliation
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

So using PEDMAS, solve this problem by doing the operations first that come first, so you might want to start by solving 16 divided 2.  (Division comes before multipliciation)
first 16/2= 8

46-8x4

now multiply 8 and 4

46-32
now subtract

Answers

If you would like to write (13/15) / (7/10) in the simplest form, you can calculate this using the following steps:

(13/15) / (7/10) = (13/15) * (10/7) = (13 * 2) / (3 * 7) = 26/21 = 1 5/21

The correct result would be 26/21.

to get into her tree house, annabeth rests a ladder against the tree. the top of the ladder is 13 feet above the ground. the base of the ladder is 3 from the tree. what is the slope of the ladder

Answers

slope = rise/run
the ladder "rises" to 13 feet above the ground
the ladder "runs" 3 feet from the base of the ladder to the tree
so: slope = rise/run = 13/3
13-0
