A welder drops a piece of red-hot steel on the floor. The initial temperature of the steel is 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambi

ent temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. After 2 minutes the temperature of the steel is 1,500 degrees. The function f(t)=Ce(−kt)+80 represents the situation, where t is time in minutes, C is a constant, and k is a constant.
After 2 minutes the temperature of the steel is 1,500 degrees. After how many minutes will the temperature of the steel be 100 degrees and therefore safe to pick up with bare hands?

Answer: After 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial temperature = 2500

At t = 0,

we get that

f(t)=Ce^{-kt}+80\\\\2500=C+80\\\\2500-80=C\\\\2420=C

After 2 minutes, the temperature of the steel is 1500 degrees.

so, it becomes,

1500=2420e^{-2k}+80\\\\1500-80=2420e^{-2k}\\\\\dfrac{1420}{2420}=e^{-2k}\\\\0.587=e^{-2k}\\\\\ln 0.587=-2k\\\\-0.533=-2k\\\\k=\dfrac{0.533}{2}\\\\k=0.266

So, We need to find the number of minutes when the temperature of steel would be 100 degrees.

So, it becomes,

100=2420e^{-0.266t}+80\\\\100-80=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\20=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\\dfrac{20}{2420}=e^{-0.266t}\\\\\ln \dfrac{20}{2420}=-0.266t\\\\-4.8=-0.266t\\\\t=\dfrac{4.8}{0.266}\\\\t=18.05

Hence, after 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Calculate the missing angle and give a reason for your answer
Vanyuwa [196]

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangle is an isosceles triangle hence the base angles are equal

sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, the top angle =180-(62+62)

the top angle =56°

h°= the top angle because alternate angles are equal

hence, h=56°

kerry is comparing the number 9.207 and 9.210. what is the least place value she needs to compare to decide which number is grea
andrew11 [14]
The number 9.210 is greater. The least place value is the 0 (Zero) and the 1 (One). This is because the 9 (Nine) and the 2 (Two) in 9.207 and 9.210 is the same numbers. There so, you can't compare those 2 (Two) numbers.

Answer:

∠ 2 = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

the left base angle in the triangle and 110° are a linear pair and sum to 180°

base angle + 110° = 180° ( subtract 110° from both sides )

base angle = 70°

the 2 sides of the triangle are congruent so Δ is isosceles with base angles congruent.

the vertex of the Δ is then

(180 - 70 - 70)° = 180° - 140° = 40°

the vertex and ∠ 2 are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is

∠ 2 + 40° = 180° ( subtract 40° from both sides )

∠ 2 = 140°
