a. The altitude of Ella's kite is increasing by a constant amount with each hour, therefore it is an arithmetic sequence.
b. The explicit formula for the altitude of Ella's kite at the beginning of the nth hour can be written as:
h(n) = 60 + 15n
This formula represents the arithmetic sequence where the initial altitude is 60 meters and the altitude increases by 15 meters every hour.
