A) The differential equation comes from the fact that the rate of temperature change is proportional to the difference in temperatures.

B) Find general solution by separating variables and integrating

:
C) Initial condition is t=0, T = 87

D) Total time elapsed is 10 minutes, new temperature is 84

solve for alpha

E) Temperature function is:

solving for t

Plug in T = 98.6

This is approximately 32 minutes before he arrived or about 1:20 AM
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution
y=[[x]], at x=3,
therefore the function of y = 3
you can merge 3,3
Answer:
1)
2) 12 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
In this case:
(The height of the candle in inches)
(The time in hours)
Then, we can rewrite it:
Based on the information provided in the exercise, the line passes through these points:
and 
Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula
:

Now we need to substitute the slope and one of the points into
and then solve for "b":

Substituting values, we get that the a linear equation that models the relationship between the heigth of the candle and the time, is:
2) We must substitute
into the linear equation
in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:
