Answer:
- temperature is decreasing as time passes
- x-axis
- hot drink temperature (°C)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Each value of temperature is lower than the one previous, so we can say the temperature is decreasing. We also notice that the rate of decrease is getting smaller, possibly because the temperature is approaching a horizontal asymptote.
__
2. The horizontal axis, where temperature is plotted, is conventionally called the x-axis.
__
3. The label on the vertical axis is "temperature" and the graph title is "cooling a hot drink ...", so we presume the dependent variable is the temperature of a hot drink.
Use the identity
sec^2x = 1 + tan^2 x
- so sec x = sqrt(1 + tan^2 x) then:-
tan x + sqrt( 1 + tan^2 x) = 1
sqrt ( 1 + tan^2 x) = 1 - tan x
1 + tan^2 x = 1 + tan^2x - 2 tan x
0 = -2 tanx
tan x = 0
x = 0, π
π is an extraneous root because sec 180 = -1
So the answer is 0 degrees
