Ben states that 3/7 + 1/2 = 4/9. jada says tat can't be true, because 4/9 > 1/2. is she correct? explain.

1. a. Pretty much, you just have to rearrange it so that the highest power is in the front. So, here's your answer:
b. It's a 4th-degree polynomial. A degree means that "what's the highest power?"
c. It's a trinomial. It has 3 terms, hence it's a trinomial.
2. a. Since it's an odd power and a negative coefficient, it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→∞
b. The degree is even and the coefficient is negative, so it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→-∞
3. a. This basically means that if you solve for x, you should get -2, 1, and 2. So, to do this, you can just write it in factored form and multiply inwards using any method of your choice (remember that in the parentheses, you should get the above value if you solve for x):
If you multiply it out, you get (also your answer):
4. The zeros are at x = 3, 2 and -7. Multiplicity of 3 is 1, for 2 it's 2, and for -7 it's 3.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
110.5348 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference from room temperature changes from 103 to 59 in 46 minutes, so that difference can be modeled by the exponential equation ...
Δt = 103×(59/103)^(t/46)
We want to find t for the temperature difference Δt = 91 -64 = 27.
27 = 103×(59/103)^(t/46)
27/103 = (59/103)^(t/46) . . . . . divide by 103
Taking logs gives the linear equation ...
log(27/103) = (t/46)log(59/103)
Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of t, we get ...
t = 46·log(27/103)/log(59/103) ≈ 46·(-0.58147346)/(-0.24198521)
≈ 110.5347
It will take about 110.5347 minutes for the turkey to cool to 91 °F internally.

<em>Comment on 4 decimal places</em>
An answer correct to 4 decimal places (7 significant digits) is a pretty good indication that the problem was worked correctly. However, that level of precision in the timing makes little sense in this context. Most thermometers will take at least a few seconds to register the temperature to within a tenth of a degree or so. This problem is asking for an answer that is within 6 milliseconds and 30 micro-degrees. Neither of these is anywhere near realistic for a kitchen meat thermometer.
More realistic would be an answer to 4 <em>significant figures</em>, a tenth of a minute and a few hundredths of a degree.
(The rate of change at the time of interest is about -0.33 degrees per minute.)
