Question

A balloon takes off from a location that is 158 feet above sea level. It rises 56 feet/minute. Write an equation to model the balloon’s elevation h as a function of time t.

Answer 1

the balloon starts at 158 thats our set number

then it goes up 56 feet a minute, you add that to your height

after that you have the variables h and t you would write it as

h= 56t+ 158

Answer 2

h= 56t + 158 is your answer ^-^
