You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.

1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.

2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.

3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.

4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

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
NeTakaya

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.

What is an equation of the line in the slope- intersepct is (0,3)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

using the formula x/a + y/b =1

a: slope intercept on the x axis

b:slope intersect on the y axis

x/0 + y/3 = 1 (since x/0 is undefined ,the slope doesn't exist and it is impossible for a slope to be linear)
