Liam is making barbecue ribs over a fire. The internal temperature of the ribs when he starts cooking is 40°F. During each hour

of cooking, the internal temperature will increase by 25%. The ribs are safe to eat when they reach 165°F.
Use the drop-down menus to complete an inequality that can be solved to find how much time, t, it will take for the internal temperature to reach at least 165°F.

Answer: You need to wait at least 6.4 hours to eat the ribs.

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature is 40°F, and it increases by 25% each hour.

This means that during hour 0 the temperature is 40° F

after the first hour, at h = 1h we have an increase of 25%, this means that the new temperature is:

T = 40° F + 0.25*40° F = 1.25*40° F

after another hour we have another increase of 25%, the temperature now is:

T = (1.25*40° F) + 0.25*(1.25*40° F) = (40° F)*(1.25)^2

Now, we can model the temperature at the hour h as:

T(h) = (40°f)*1.25^h

now we want to find the number of hours needed to get the temperature equal to 165°F. which is the minimum temperature that the ribs need to reach in order to be safe to eaten.

So we have:

(40°f)*1.25^h = 165° F

1.25^h = 165/40 = 4.125

h = ln(4.125)/ln(1.25)  = 6.4 hours.

then the inequality is:

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Find g(x), where g(x) is the reflection across the y-axis of f(x)= –9|x–10|+1.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

To reflect a graph, f(x) over the x-axis, you take -f(x).

So if f(x)=x^2, then -f(x) is -x^2.

Then g(x)=-x^2 is the reflection of your function f(x) over the x-axis.

What is the distance between the points? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

You do rise over run or y/x to find your answer. You go over 6 and up 10 to get from the lower point to the one on top. 10/6=1.666667 and rounded will be 1.7

Find the minimum sample size needed to estimate the percentage of Democrats who have a sibling. Use a 0.1 margin of error, use a
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The minimum sample size is  n  =135

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The confidence interval is ( lower \ limit  = \  0.44,\ \ \   upper \ limit  = \ 0.51)

    The margin of error is  E =  0.1

   

Generally the sample  proportion can be mathematically evaluated as

     \r p = \frac{ upper \ limit  + lower \ limit }{2}

    \r p = \frac{ 0.51 + 0.44}{2}

    \r p = 0.475

Given that the confidence level is  98% then the level of significance can be mathematically evaluated as

         \alpha = 100 -  98

        \alpha = 2\%

        \alpha =0.02

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table  

   The value is

        Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.33

Generally the minimum sample size is evaluated as

      n  =[ \frac { Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 *  \r p (1- \r p )

     n  =[ \frac { 2.33}{0.1} ]^2 *  0.475(1- 0.475 )

     n  =135
