Answer:
about 1.01 °C per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the intended temperature function is ...
t(h) = 18 +4·sin(π/12(h -8))
We are asked for the rate of change when h=9.
__
<h3>derivative</h3>The rate of change of temperature with respect to time is the derivative of t(h) with respect to h.
t'(h) = 4(π/12)cos(π/12(h -8)) = π/3·cos(π/12(h -8))
<h3>at 9 am</h3>For h = 9 hours after midnight, the rate of change is ...
t'(9) = π/3·cos(π/12(9 -8)) = π/3·cos(π/12) ≈ (3.14159)(0.965926)/3
t'(9) ≈ 1.01152
The rate of change of temperature at 9 a.m. is about 1.01 °C/hour.
The rate at which the temperature is changing at 9 a.m. is 19.03 degrees Celsius per hour
<h3>How to determine the rate at 9a.m?</h3>The function is given as:
9a.m is 9 hours since midnight.
This means that
x = 9
So, we have:
Evaluate
Evaluate the expression
t(h) = 19.03
Hence, the rate at which the temperature is changing at 9 a.m. is 19.03 degrees Celsius per hour

For this case we must write a situation for the following inequality:
Andres needs less than $200 to go on vacation. It is known that in his work he earns $12 per hour, he must also pay a debt of $14. We want to know how many days he gets less than $200. Assuming Andres works 8 hours a day.
x: Variable that represents the number of hours Andres works
Thus, Andres must work less than 17.83 hours for his trip.
Therefore, it requires three work days.
