Answer 1

ye?

Answer 2

The height H(m) of a kite, in meters, is a function of the number of minutes m since Aubrey was told it was time to go home, as shown in the table. The function is a linear function.

What was the height of the kite when Aubrey was told it was time to go home?



Use a table to interpret key features of a linear function.


[1] m

Answer 3

m=

Answer 4

im not trying to be rude, but after you find your answer would sombody anybody mind helping me with an inequality??? i really need help too... please

Answer 5

Oh, its okay i can't help because I not that good at math

Answer 6

we have to write the equation of your function

Answer 7

how do we write this?

Answer 8

namely, using your table, we have to determine the values of the coefficients \(a,b\) of this function:
\(H(t)=at+b\) where \(t\) is time in minutes

Answer 9

what would be at?

Answer 10

from your table, I see that at \(t=0\) \(H=300\), so I can write this:
\(300=a \cdot 0+b\)
what is \(b\)?

Answer 11

I'm not trying to sound you know, but would b somehow be the slope

Answer 12

\(a \cdot 0=0\) so \(b=300\)

Answer 13

so 300 + 0 = 300

Answer 14

right! Now I update my function, so I can write this:
\(H(t)=at+300\)
therefore, we have to determine the coefficient \(a\)

Answer 15

H(t)= at +300 coefficient a, i don't know because 0 is dismissed

Answer 16

for example at \(t=10\) we have (from your table) \(H=150\), so i can write this:
\(150=a \cdot 10+300\)
please solve for \(a\)

Answer 17

150=10a + 300 do I then subtract 300 - 150?

Answer 18

more precisely you have to compute this:
\(150-300\)

Answer 19

what is 150-300=...?

Answer 20

so -150 divided by 10 would be -15

Answer 21

correct! \(a=-15\) therefore our function is:
\(H(t)=-15t+300\)

Answer 22

now, when Aubrey has to go home?

Answer 23

Having extreme problems with computer and I'm on my phone which is hard to work onso do we divid now

Answer 24

we have to replace \(t\) with the time at which Aubrey went home.
what is theat time? I don't know
