Writing the equation that governs this situation:


-3C - (2.5C/hr)x = -18C


Simplifying, -3 - 2.5x = -18, or 3 + 2.5x = 18


Combining like terms: 2.5x = 18-3 = 15


Then x = 15/2.5 = 6. The temp. will reach -18C after 6 hours.

Answer:

After six hours temperature in the city should be -18 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial temperature is -3 °C.  

Rate of temperature decreasing is 2.5 °C/hour. It means negative value.

Final temperature should be -18 °C.

If we write those data as equation we have:

(-3 °C - 2.5 (°C/h)* t) = -18 °C

We can isolate the value of t, t will be the total hours.  

-2.5 t = -18 + 3

-2.5 t = -15

t = (-15)/(-2.5) = 6  

t = 6 hours.

After six hours temperature in the city should be -18 °C.

A hockey puck is sliding on frictionless ice on an infinite hockey rink.
Its speed is 36 km/hour.  How far does the puck slide in 10 seconds ? 

 (36 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr/3600 sec) x (10sec) =

         (36 x 1,000 x 10 / 3,600) meters  =  <em>100 meters</em>

What is the puck's speed in miles per hour ?

        (36 km/hr) x (0.6214 mi/km)  =  <em>22.37 mi/hr</em>

$765.13 is deposited at the end of each month for 3 years in an account paying 2% Interest compounded monthly. Find the final am
Crank

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value formula, for an annuity, is:

FV = \frac{P((1+r)^{n} - 1)}{r}

An annuity means that a number of payments happen during the period(an year, for example).

P is the value of the deposit, r is the interest rate, as a decimal, and n is the number of deposits.

In this question:

Deposits of $765.13, so P = 765.13

Each month, for 3 years. An year has twelve months, so n = 3*12 = 36

2% Interest a year. An year has 12 months, so r = \frac{0.02}{12} = 0.00167

Find the final amount of the account.

FV = \frac{765.13*((1 + 0.00167)^{36} - 1)}{0.00167} = 28,363.46

The final amount of the account will be $28,363.46, which is option B.
