We will assume that we have a function relating between the time and the temperature. Any point in this function can be expressed as (x,y) where x is the time and y is the temperature (any point is expressed as (time, temperature)).

We have two points given:
<span>At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
</span><span>At 10 p.m. the temperature is 52 degrees F: Second point is (10,52)

The rate of change is simply the slope of this function, this slope can be calculated as:
rate of change = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
we have y2= 52, y1= 72, x2= 10 and x1= 7

Substituting in the equation, we can calculate the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (52-72) / (10-7) = -6.667 degrees/hours
Note: The negative sign indicated a DECREASE in the temperature.</span>

Answer:

Volume = 200.96 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is given by the formula   V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

Where r is the radius and h is the height

Given r = 4 and height is 3 times that. So height is 4*3 = 12

Plugging these into the formula we get:

Volume of Cone =  \frac{1}{3}\pi (4)^2 (12)\\=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(16)(12)\\=200.96

Thus, Volume = 200.96 cubic feet

Answer:

4. j(11) = 8

I think it is linear

5. g(-3) = 18

No, it's a parabola since x is to the second power

6. f(-7) = 5

No, I think it's an absolute value function

7. h(0) = 13

I think it is linear, just the slope is 0

What is the step by step equation to solve 5 (y + 2/5) = -13
Temka [501]

5( y + 2/5) = -13

Distribute the 5 by multiplying the 5 by each term inside the set of parentheses:

5y + 2 = -13

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5y = -15

Divide both sides by 5:

Y = 3

The answer is y = 3
