2x = x/2 - 6.....multiply both sides by 2
4x = x - 12
4x - x = -12
3x = -12
x = -12/3
x = -4

3x = 12......3(-4) = 12.....-12 = 12...false......so 3x = 12 is not true because x = -4

2x = x/2 - 6
6 + 2x = x/2
8x = x/2
x^2 = 8/2
x^2 = 4
x^2 - 4 = 0
(x - 2) (x + 2) = 0
x = 2 and x = -2

False

This is the actual right answer :) a teacher saw this :)

After heating up in a teapot, a cup of hot water is poured at a temperature of 204°F.

Answer:

  • Question 1: 0.081 min⁻¹
  • Question 2: 168ºF

Explanation:

The missing equation is:

             T=T_a+(T_0-T_a)e^{-kt}

You are given:

  • Ta = the temperature surrounding the object = 73ºF
  • T₀ = the initial temperature of the object = 204ºF
  • t = 2.5 min
  • T after 2.5 min = 180ºF

Question 1: Find the the value of k.

Substitute the data into the equation and solve for k:

          180\º=73\º+(204\º-73\º)e^{-k\cdot 2.5min}\\ \\ 107\º=131\ºe^{-k\cdot 2.5min}\\\\-k\cdot 2.5min=\ln (107/131)\\\\k=0.081min^{-1}

Question 2: Find the Fahrenheit temperature of the cup of water, to the nearest degree, after 4 minutes.

Subsititute into the formula and compute:

            T=73\ºF+(204\ºF-73\ºF)e^{-0.081min^{-1}\times 4min}\\ \\ T=73\ºF+(131\ºF)(0.72325024)\\\\T=168\ºF
