Answer:

The correct answer is C) The terms have a common ratio of –1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms having a common ratio of -1.5 best describes the relationship between the successive terms in the sequence from the terms given below. Correct on edge2020 :)

As a bowl of soup cools, the temperature of the soup is given by the twice-differentiable function H for 0<img src="https://tex.

Aleks04 [339]

The rate of change of temperature with time at a point in time is given by

the derivative of the function for the temperature of the soup.

The correct responses are;

a) H'(5) is approximately -2.6 degrees Celsius per minute.

b) Yes

c) The equation for the line tangent is y = -3.6·t + 90.8
The approximate value of C(5) is 72.8 °C

d) The rate of change of the temperature of the soup at t = 3 minutes is -3.6 degrees Celsius per minute.

Reasons:

a) From the data in the table, we have;

The approximate value of H'(5) is given by the average value of the rate of

change of the temperature with time between points, t = 3, and t = 8

Therefore;

$\displaystyle H'(5) = \mathbf{\frac{H(8) - H(3)}{8 - 3}}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle H'(5) = \frac{80 - 67}{8 - 3} = \mathbf{2.6}$

Therefore, H'(5) = -2.6°C per minute

b) Given that the function is twice differentiable over the interval, 0 ≤ t ≤ 12, the function for the change in temperature is continuous in the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 12

At t = 0, H(0) = 90 °C

At t = 12, H(12) = 58 °C
