Answer

The initial temperature was T = -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial temperature be T.

- The tempature was very cold

Temperarure = T

- Then it doubled

Temperature = 2T

- Then it dropped 10 degrees

Temperature = 2T - 10

- And then it increased by 40 degrees.

Temperature = 2T - 10 + 40 = 2T + 30

The tempature is now 16 degrees

Temperature = 16 degrees

2T + 30 = 16

2T = -14

T = -7 degrees

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

The starting temperature was -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the inicial temperature by 'X'.

First the temperature doubled, so now it is 2X.

Then, it dropped 10 degrees, so now it is 2X - 10

Then, it increased by 40 degrees, so now it is 2X - 10 + 40 = 2X + 30

Now, the temperature is 16 degrees, so we have that:

2X + 30 = 16

2X = 16 - 30

2X = -14

X = -7

The starting temperature was -7 degrees

Find the value of x?

Burka [1]

Answer:

<em>We </em><em>know </em><em>that </em><em>the </em><em>exterior </em><em>angle </em><em>of </em><em>a </em><em>triangle </em><em>is </em><em>equal </em><em>to </em><em>the </em><em>sum </em><em>of </em><em>two </em><em>opposite</em><em> </em><em>interior </em><em>angle. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

So

25x + 57 + x = 45x

26x + 57 = 45x

57 = 45x - 26x

19x = 57

Therefore x = 3

Hope it will help you

What is the volume of a sphere with radius 4?<br> Round to the nearest whole number.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

268.08

rounded number- 268

find the number in the whole number place, 8, and look one place to the right for the rounding digit on the right side of the decimal point, 0. round up if this number is greater than or equal to 5, and round down if it is less than 5.

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1.5 1.5 centimeters/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The base reduces at 3.75cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$h \to altitude$

$b \to base$

$A \to Area$

So:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.5cm/min$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = 1.5^2cm/min$

The area of a triangle is:

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Calculate b when $A =88cm^2; h =8cm$

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

$88=\frac{1}{2} * b * 8$

$88 =b * 4$

Solve for b

$b = 88/4$

$b = 22$

We have:

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Differentiate with respect to time

$\frac{dA}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}(h\frac{db}{dt} + b\frac{dh}{dt})$

Substitute the following values in the above equation

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.5cm/min$ $\frac{dA}{dt} = 1.5^2cm/min$ $b = 22$ $h = 8$

$1.5 = \frac{1}{2}(8 * \frac{db}{dt} + 22 * 1.5)$

Multiply both sides by 2

$3 = 8 * \frac{db}{dt} + 22 * 1.5$

$3 = 8 * \frac{db}{dt} + 33$

Collect like terms

$8 * \frac{db}{dt} = 3 -33$

$8 * \frac{db}{dt} = -30$

Divide both sides by 8

$\frac{db}{dt} = -\frac{30}{8}$

$\frac{db}{dt} = -3.75$
