Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is;

17/6 OR 2 & 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5+1)/6 - (-8+1)/2

First, simplify in parentheses!

-4/6 - -7/2

Next, change the symbol of 7/2 because two negatives make a positive!

-4/6 +7/2

Next, change the denominators so they both have the same

-4/6 + 7/2

× 3/3

-4/6 + 21/6

Simplify!

17/6

OR

2 & 5/6

Hope this helps

At 2 PM, a thermometer reading 80°F is taken outside where the air temperature is 20°F. At 2:03 PM, the temperature reading yiel

Alexeev081 [22]

Use Law of Cooling:
$T(t) = (T_0 - T_A)e^{-kt} +T_A$
T0 = initial temperature, TA = ambient or final temperature

First solve for k using given info, T(3) = 42
$42 = (80-20)e^{-3k} +20 \\ \\ e^{-3k} = \frac{22}{60}=\frac{11}{30} \\ \\ k = -\frac{1}{3} ln (\frac{11}{30})$

Substituting k back into cooling equation gives:
$T(t) = 60(\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} + 20$

At some time "t", it is brought back inside at temperature "x".
We know that temperature goes back up to 71 at 2:10 so the time it is inside is 10-t, where t is time that it had been outside.
The new cooling equation for when its back inside is:
$T(t) = (x-80)(\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} + 80 \\ \\ 71 = (x-80)(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{10-t}{3}} + 80$
Solve for x:
$x = -9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{t-10}{3}} + 80$
Sub back into original cooling equation, x = T(t)
$-9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{t-10}{3}} + 80 = 60 (\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} +20$
Solve for t:
$60 (\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} +9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{-10}{3}}(\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} = 60 \\ \\ (\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} = \frac{60}{60+9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{-10}{3}}} \\ \\ \\ t = 3(\frac{ln(\frac{60}{60+9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{-10}{3}}})}{ln (\frac{11}{30})}) \\ \\ \\ t = 4.959$

This means the exact time it was brought indoors was about 2.5 seconds before 2:05 PM

If a solid has faces that consist of 2 equilateral triangles and 3 congruent rectangles, what type of solid is it?

svlad2 [7]

A right triangular prism is a solid that has faces that consist of 2 equilateral triangles and 3 congruent rectangles. It is also described to have two parallel faces and 3 other faces that belong to the same place (and are not parallel to the parallel pair of faces).

If the instructions for a problem ask you to use the smallest possible domain to completely graph two periods of y = 5 + 3 cos 2

Finger [1]

The period of a sinusoid $\cos 2(x-c)$ is $\dfrac{2\pi}2=\pi$ , so any range such that $\mathrm{Xmax}-\mathrm{Xmin}=2\pi$ will give two complete periods.
