Question 18 A hot air balloon is hovering 89 meters above the ground and begins to ascend at a rate of 5 meters per second. Let y be the height of the balloon in meters x seconds after it begins to ascend. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models the height of the balloon. y = 89 + 5x How high is the balloon after 15 seconds?

Step 1
Step 1: The equation that models the height of the balloon is y = 89 + 5x, where 89 is the initial height and 5 is the rate of ascent. Show more…

A hot air balloon is hovering 70 meters above the ground and begins to ascend at a rate of 11 meters per second. Let y be the height of the balloon in meters and seconds after it begins to ascend. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models the height of the balloon. How high is the balloon after 39 seconds?

A water balloon is launched vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 25.9 meters per second, which can be modeled by the equation H(t) = -4.9t^2 + 25.9t + h where h is the initial height. You may use Desmos or any other calculator. Round your answer to two decimal places. If the balloon landed in 5.4 seconds, determine the initial height of the balloon. Determine the maximum height attained by the balloon and the amount of time it takes to reach that height. Determine the time it takes the balloon to reach a height of 3 meters.

19 A hot air balloon is descending. The height of the balloon n minutes after it starts to descend is h_n metres. The height of the balloon (n + 1) minutes after it starts to descend, h_{n + 1} metres, is given by h_{n + 1} = K x h_n + 20 where K is a constant. The balloon starts to descend from a height of 1200 metres at 09 15 At 09 16 the height of the balloon is 1040 metres. Work out the height of the balloon at 09 18
