Question

The table shows how an elevator 500 feet above the ground is descending at a steady rate. Which equation represents the height, h(t), of the elevator in feet, as a function of t, the number of seconds during which it has been descending? h(t) = 5t + 500 h(t) = 5t – 500 h(t) = –5t + 500 h(t) = –5t – 500

Answer 1

This is the concept of algebra, given that the elevator is 500ft above the ground and it is descending at a steady rate of 5ft/sec. Then height h, at time t of the elevator movement can be modeled by the equation:
h(t)=-5t+500.
The correct answer is h(t)=-5t+500

Answer 2

Answer:

C) h(t) = –5t + 500
