After sitting in a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at a temperature of 34 degrees F is placed on the counter and slowly warms

closer to room temperature 72 degrees f. The turkey reaches the temperature of 41 degrees F after 35 minutes. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 80 minutes.

Answer:

  • k = 0.006
  • T = 48 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature difference of 72 -34 = 38 °F is reduced to a difference of 72 -41 = 31 °F after 35 minutes. The exponential term in the temperature expression could have the factor ...

  (31/38)^(t/35) = e^(-kt)

Taking the natural log, we find ...

  (t/35)ln(31/38) = -kt

  k = ln(38/31)/35 ≈ 0.00581711

To the nearest thousandth, this is ...

  k ≈ 0.006

Using this in the equation for temperature, we have ...

  T = 72 -38e^(-0.006t)

Filling in the desired value for t (80), we find the turkey temperature after 80 minutes to be about

  T = 72 -38e^(-.006×80) = 72 -38e^-.48 ≈ 48.49

  T ≈ 48 °F

The value of k is about 0.006, and the turkey temperature is about 48 °F.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

x > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

— 3х + 7 < 19

Subtract 7 from each side

— 3х + 7-7 < 19-7

-3x < 12

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 > 12/-3

x > -4

HI can you help me with this problem?The quantity demanded x for a certain brand of MP3 players is 300 units when the unit price
Vlad [161]

The demand equation is P = -0.05x + 105

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

<em>The demand equation.</em>

The following information is used to solve the problem.

If (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are any dinstinct points on a line a non-vertical line L, then the equation of the line that has a slope(m) and passes through the point (x₁ , y₁) is given by the formula below:

y-y_1=_{}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Assume p, be the unit price and x be the demand when the price is $p.

From the question given, when the unit price x = 300 units, the demand p = $90 and when the unit price x = 1300 units, the demand p = $40

This means the demand curve passes through the points (300, 90) and (1300, 40).

Assume the demand equation is linear, then the line of the equation passes through the points (300, 90) and (1300, 40).

Now;

y=p x₁ =300 y₁ = 90 x₂ = 1300 y₂=40

Substitute the values into the function and simplify.

p-90=\frac{40-90}{1300-300}(x-300)

Simplify the above.

p-90=\frac{-50}{1000}(x-300)p-90=-0.05(x-300)

Open the parenthesis.

P- 90 = -0.05x + 15

Add 90 to both-side of the equation.

P = -0.05x + 15 + 90

P = -0.05x + 105

Hence, the demand function is P = -0.05x + 105
