At 11:59 PM on December 31 the time square ball in New York city was 735 Feet above the ground one minute later it was 584 feet above ground which of the following gives the rate of change of the ball in feet per second

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

answer is x<
