Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:


h(10) \text{- the altitude of the hot air balloon after 10 minutes.}\\\\\boxed{h(10)=60}

»»————- ★ ————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • As described in the question, the function
    h(t) models the total altitude of a hot air balloon over time.
  • 't' represents the number of minutes that would be given.

  • h(10) would be the total altitude over 10 minutes time.
  • To solve for the value, we would replace 't' with 10 and then evaluate.

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Evaluating the function...}}\\\\h(t) = 210 - 15t; \text{ } h(10)\\-------------\\\rightarrow h(10) = 210 - 15(10)\\\\\rightarrow h(10)=210 - 150\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{h(10) = 60}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

  • Here, t represents time, which is the input of the function, so we know that 10 is the time in minutes.
  • h(t) represents the altitude, which is the output of the function after time, t.

  • So, we need to substitute 10 into 210 -15t in place of t.

  • On simplifying 210 -15(10), we get that 60 is the altitude in feet. So, after 10 minutes, the hot air balloon is at 60 feet.
