Before we can make the mashed potatoes, we need to boil some water. The water starts out at room temperature, 70° F, and increas

es by 50° F per minute. Create a linear equation using time t (in minutes) and temperature y (in °F) that models this heating of water. How many minutes until the water boils at 212° F?

Answer:

Part a) y=50t+70

Part b) t=2.84\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Create a linear equation

Let

t ----> the time in minutes

y ---> the temperature in °F

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mt+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation

In this problem we have

The slope m is equal to

m=50\° F\ per\ minute

The y-intercept is

b=70\° F

substitute

y=50t+70

Part b) How many minutes until the water boils at 212° F?

For y=212° F

substitute in the linear equation and solve for t

212=50t+70

50t=212-70

50t=142

t=2.84\ min

Find the missing side lengths​
Alik [6]
For this triangle in particular, we can use the special rules of a 30-60-90 triangle

This says:
The opposite side of 30° is: x
The opposite side of 60° is: x * sqrt(3)
The opposite side of the 90° is: 2x

We have our side length for 90° so we just have to work backwards
To find our 30° side length we must divide by 2
8/2 = 4
Which means your y = 4

Now that we have our 30° side length we can just multiple it by sqrt(3)

That means your x = 4 sqrt(3)

pantera1 [17]

Isolate the w. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Add 3π to both sides

- 3π (+3π) + w = 2π (+3π)

w = 2π + (3π)

w = 5π

w = 5π is your answer

hope this helps
