at 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F at 10 p.m. it is 52 degrees find the average rate of change in temperature

1 answer:

4 0

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:
At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
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.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is taken by individuals interested in pursuing graduate management education. GMAT

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

H₀: μ = 550 vs. Hₐ: μ < 550.

Step-by-step explanation:

A researcher believes that the mean scores for this year's college seniors in the Philippines who are interested in pursuing graduate management education will be less than 550.

The mean sore for all test‑takers is μ = 550 with a standard deviation of σ = 120.

A random sample of n = 250 college seniors in the Philippines interested in pursuing graduate management education who plan to take the GMAT were selected.

The null and alternative hypotheses for the study of the performance on the GMAT of college seniors in the Philippines is as follows:

H₀: The mean scores for this year's college seniors in the Philippines who are interested in pursuing graduate management education will not be less than 550, i.e. μ = 550.

Hₐ: The mean scores for this year's college seniors in the Philippines who are interested in pursuing graduate management education will be less than 550, i.e. μ < 550.

Determine if each function is linear or nonlinear.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Linear: y = x, y = x/2 - 3, 3x + 2 = 12

Nonlinear: y = 6/x - 2, y = 3x^3 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions form straight lines while nonlinear functions do not.

równanie zmiany prędkość autokaru poruszającego się po prostym odcinku szosy i rozpoczynającego hamowanie od szybkości 20m/s ma

Rasek [7]

Answer:

s = 22.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for the speed change of a coach moving along a straight section of the road and starting braking at a speed of 20 m / s has the form v (t) = 25-5t. Using integral calculus, determine the coach's braking distance.

v (t) = 25 - 5 t

at t = 0 , v = 20 m/s

Let the distance is s.

$s =\int v(t) dt\\\\s =\int (25 - 5t)dt\\\\s= 25 t - 2.5 t^2 \\$

Let at t = t, the v = 20

So,

20 = 25 - 5 t

t = 1 s

So, s = 25 x 1 - 2.5 x 1 = 22.5 m
