Answer: it will take 10 minutes to get back to room temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the room temperature is 25 degrees. The current temperature of the soup before the decrease would be 25 + 50 = 75 degrees.

The soup drop about 5 degrees every minute. This is a linear rate. The rate at which the temperature is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 75 degrees

d = - 5 degrees (it is decreasing)

n = t

We want to determine how long it will take to get back to 25 degrees, . Therefore,

25 = 75 -5 (t - 1) = 75 - 5t

5t = 75 - 25 = 50

t = 50/5 = 10 minutes

Find the value of c, rounded to the nearest tenth <br> A. 11<br> B. 14.3<br> C. 37.6<br> D. 7.4
Helga [31]

Answer:

D. The correct value of  c  = 7.4

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Tangent-Secant theorem:

"When a tangent and a secant are drawn from one single external point to a circle, square of the length of tangent segment must be equal to the product of lengths of whole secant segment and the exterior portion of secant segment."

Here, the external length of tangent segment = 10

Also, the length of internal segment  is 14 and c.

So, by the SECANT THEOREM:

(10)^2  = 14 \times c\\\implies c = \frac{100}{14} = 7.14

or, c  = 7. 1428

Now, rounding off the value of c = 7. 14 to the nearest tenth, we get

c = 7. 4

Hence the correct value of  c  = 7.4
