At 7:00 A.M., Alicia pours a cup of tea whose temperature is 200°F. The tea starts to cool to room temperature (72°F). At 7:02 A

.M. the temperature of the tea is 197°F. At 7:15 A.M. the temperature of the tea is 180°F. Alicia will drink the tea when its temperature is 172°F.
Part A

Which of the following shows an exponential cooling equation that models the temperature of the tea?

A. y = 72(0.989)x + 128

B. y = 128(0.989)x + 72

C. y = 200(0.989)x + 72

D. y = 128(0.989)x + 200

Part B

When can Ella drink the tea?

Answer:

Part A

The most correct option is;

b. y = 128(0.989)x + 72

Part B

Ella can drink the tea after 7:22

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the temperature variation with time given in an exponential equation as follows;

Let the temperature at time x (in minutes) = y

Therefore, y = a × mˣ + b

Where:

b = Shift of the curve or the limit value of the decreasing exponential function as x → ∞

When y = 200, x = 0

Therefore. 200 = a × m⁰ + c = a + c

We note that c is the shift of the graph, the value upon which temperature increases = final temperature = 72°F

Hence a = 200 - 72 = 128°F

When y = 197, x = 2 minutes

Therefore, 197 = 128·m² + 72 =

m² = (197 - 72)/128 = 125/128

m = √(125/128) = 0.98821

Hence the exponential equation of cooling is presented in the following equation;

y = 128 × (0.98821)ˣ + 72

Therefore, the most correct option is b. y = 128(0.989)x + 72

Part B

When the temperature is 172°F we have;

172 = 128 × (0.989)ˣ + 72

∴ (0.989)ˣ = (172 - 72)/128 = 100/128 = 25/32

log(0.989)ˣ = log(25/32)

x·log(0.989) = log(25/32)

x = log(25/32)/log(0.989) = 22.32 minutes

Hence Ella can drink the tea after 7:22.

Find the distance between the points A (13, 2) and B (7, 10).
Aliun [14]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 10

For:

(X1, Y1) = (13, 2)

(X2, Y2) = (7, 10)

Distance Equation Solution:

d=(7−13)2+(10−2)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

d=(−6)2+(8)2−−−−−−−−−−√

d=36+64−−−−−−√

d=1–√00

d=10

Xavier (x) has $20 more than Sara (s). Their combined money totals $90. Which system of equations represents this situation?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

B) x + s = 90, x - s = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x + s = 90 represents that both Xavier and Sara's money combined is $90.

x - s = 20 represents that Xavier has 20 more dollars than Sara.
