We can find this by creating a function to represent how many lawns she's mowed. 


f(x) = 46x - 343

The 46x represents the profit of 46 dollars per month for each lawn mowed and the -343 is the cost of fuel per month to remove it from profit. We now need to set this function to 800, and solve for x.

800 = 46x - 343
1143 = 46x
25.58 = x

Because she can't mow part of a lawn, we need to round to a whole number. Our options are to round down to 25 or round up to 26. Lets start with the lower number first, and see if the profit for that many lawns is over 800.

f(25) = 46(25) - 343
f(25) = 1150 - 343
f(25) = 807

Because 25 is over 800 dollars, we don't need to calculate 26. Therefore, she needs to mow at least 25 lawns to make a profit of at least 800 dollars a month.

(7x+14)+(4x-22)=180

11x-18=180

11x=198

x=18

(4)(18)-22

50

the small angles are 50

(3y+11)+10y=180

13y+11=180

13y=169

y=13

(10)(13)

130

the large angles are 130

proof:

(130(2))=(50(2))= 360

A hot bowl of soup cools according to Newtons law of cooling. Its temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) at time t is given by T(t)
nata0808 [166]
212°F
147°F
23.2 min

1) Initial temperature for t=0
T(0)=68+144e^(0)=68+144=212°F
2) After 15 min
T(15)=68+144e^(-0.04*15)=68+144e^(-0.6)=147°F
3) 125°F -> t=?
125=68+144e^(-0.04t)
144e^(-0.04t)=125-68=57
e^(-0.04t)=57/144=0.4 you can apply ln on both sides:
-0.04t=ln(0.4) solving you get t=23.3 min
