Y = 3x - 4.....the slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the slope and change the sign. So we will need a slope of -1/3...see how I flipped the slope of 3/1 and made it 1/3...and then changed the sign, making it -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(2,1)...x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1/3(2) + b
1 = -2/3 + b
1 + 2/3 = b
3/3 + 2/3 = b
5/3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 5/3

If a cup of coffee has temperature 97Â°C in a room where the ambient air temperature is 25Â°C, then, according to Newton's Law o

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The average temperature is $T_{a} = 81.95^oC$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the coffee after time t is $T(t) = 25 + 72 e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]}$

Now the average temperature during the first 22 minutes i.e fro $0 \to 22$ minutes is mathematically evaluated as

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22-0} \int\limits^{22}_{0} {25 +72 e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]}} \, dx$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [25 t + 72 [\frac{e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]}}{-\frac{1}{45} } ] ] \left| 22} \atop {0}} \right.$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [25 t - 3240e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]} ] \left | 45} \atop {{0}} \right.$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [25 (22) - 3240e^{[-\frac{22}{45} ]} - (- 3240e^{0} )]$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [550 - 1987.12 + 3240]$

$T_{a} = 81.95^oC$

Let $a$ be the number of hours worked at Job A and $b$ the number of hours at Job B. Then

$a+b=30$

and

$7.5a+8b=234.50$

From the first equation,

$b=30-a$

and substituting this into the second gives

$7.5a+8(30-a)=234.50\implies-0.5a+240=234.50$

$\implies0.5a=5.50$

$\implies\boxed{a=11}$

Answer:

y°= 51.30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the formula for tangent of an angle

Tan Ф = opposite side length/adjacent side length

Tan y= 10/8

Tan y= 1.25

y° = tan⁻(1.25) = 51.34°

To the nearest tenth y°= 51.30°
