An observer is located on the ground, 3 miles from a balloon that is ready to fly. The balloontakes off, and rises vertically at a speed of 4 mi/hr. a) At what rate is the distance between the observer and the balloon increasing two hoursafter the balloon takes off? b) At what rate is the distance between the observer and the balloon increasing two hoursafter the balloon takes off?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
