Question

Complete the table to show how much helium is left in the tank after each balloon is filled for 4 balloons

Answer 1

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation

Given the expression to find the amount of helium left in the tank afer each balloon is filled is expressed as;

h(b) = 242-0.25b

If the amount of balloon left is 1 i.e b = 1

h(1) = 242 - 0.25(1)

h(1) = 242 - 0.25

h(1) = 241.75ft^3

If the amount of balloon left is 2 i.e b = 2

h(2) = 242 - 0.25(2)

h(2) = 242 - 0.50

h(2) = 241.50ft^3

If the amount of balloon left is 3 i.e b = 3

h(3) = 242 - 0.25(3)

h(3) = 242 - 0.75

h(3) = 241.25ft^3

If the amount of balloon left is 4 i.e b = 4

h(4) = 242 - 0.25(4)

h(4) = 242 - 1.00

h(4) = 241ft^3
