Question

Let A(t) be the altitude in meters of a balloonist t minutes after liftoff. Enter the exact answers. (a) Find a formula for f(s), the altitude s seconds after liftoff. f(s)= meters (b) Find a formula for g(h), the altitude h hours after liftoff. g(h)= meter

Answer 1

We have defined in the problem the time in minutes, but the requirement is give the formula in seconds, then

1minute = 60seconds,

a) In one hand we have,

`f(s) = A(s)`

Where s is the time in seconds and A the altitude. How S is a medition given in minutes, we convert,

`f(s) = A ((s)/(60))`

b) In the other hand we know that

`1minute = (1)/(60)`hours, then

`f(s) = A (60h)`
