Answer:

(a)\ 15\textdegree C\\(b)\ After\ 3\ minutes\ and\ 52.5\ Seconds\ from\ start

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature in the room =23\textdegree C

Decrease in the temperature(outdoors)=23-15=8\textdegree C in 1\ minute.

Rate of decrease=8\textdegree C/minute

Let\ after\ x\ minutes\ temperature\ is\ y\\y=23-8x\ \ \ \ y\geq -9\textdegree C

(a) After 4\ more\ minutes\ total\ time\ is=1+4=5\ minutes

y=23-5\times 8\\y=-17\\

But it is not possible as outdoor temperature is -9\textdegree C so after -9\textdegree C temperature decrease will not occur.

Hence after 4 more minutes temperature=-9\textdegree C

(b) Let after t\ minutes temperature is -8\textdegree C

Here x=t,\ y=-8\textdegree C

-8=23-8x\\8x=23+8\\8x=31\\x=\frac{31}{8}\\x=3.875\ minutes=3\ minutes\ and\ 52.5\ seconds

Answer:

a rise of 20 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

since it started at -2 degrees, you have to add enough to get out of the negatives.

-2 + 2= 0, then 0+18 to get to the 18°

-2 + 20 = 18
