Answer:

x-intercept is (2,0)  [The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C]

y-intercept is (0, -6)  [The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

<em>The air temperature is -6 degrees celcius at sunrise and rises 3 degree celcius every hour for several hours. The air temperature after x hours is represented by the function f(x) = 3x - 6. Find the x-intercept and y-intercept and interpret their meaning.</em>

<em />

  • The x-intercept is the x-axis cutting point found by setting y = 0 [function = 0]
  • The y-intercept is the y-axis cutting point found by setting x = 0

Lets find x-intercept first:

f(x) = 3x - 6

0 = 3x - 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

x-intercept is (2,0)

Now, lets find y-intercept:

f(x) = 3x - 6

f(x) = 3(0) - 6

f(x) = -6

y-intercept is (0, -6)

The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C

The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C

I'm not sure what the answer is.

Answer:

we can make some assumptions b/c of the marks. on the sides,  the double marks means they are the same,  and the single marks are also the same length.  because those sides are the same lengths.. we can just add up all the  sides to find the length around the shape... or the perimeter of it.  

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll start with the 14 on the left, and go counter clock wise

14 + 6 + 9 + 5 + 9 + 7 + 14 + (6+7+5)   =  Perimeter

the last numbers in the parenthesis are from the sides opposite of the long top side,  the parts of the other sides adds up to the long top side... sooo,

Perimeter = 82   ( I added in my head , so use a calculator to double check )

A sample of phosphorus-32 has a half-life of 14.28 days. If 55 g of this radioisotope remain unchanged after approximately 57 da
disa [49]
Given that the half-life of the sample is 14.28 days, you are looking for a decay factor k such that

\dfrac12=e^{14.28k}

Solving for k yields

\dfrac12=e^{14.28k}
\ln\dfrac12=\lne^{14.28k}
-\ln2=14.28k
k=-\dfrac{\ln2}{14.28}\approx-0.0485

Now, after 57 days, you're told that a sample of unknown mass decayed to 55g, which means if M was the starting mass of the sample, then

55=Me^{57k}

Solving for M yields

M=\dfrac{55}{e^{57k}}\approx874.889\text{ g}
