During a manufacturing process, a metal part in a machine is exposed to varying temperature conditions. The manufacturer of the

machine recommends that the temperature of the machine part remain below 132 ° F. The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit x minutes after the machine is put into operation is modeled by T = -0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125. Will the temperature of the part ever reach or exceed 132 ° F? Use the discriminant of a quadratic equation to decide.
A. no
B. yes

T = -0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125

T = 132 => -0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125 = 132

=> -0.005x^2  + 0.45x +125 -132 = 0

=> -0.005x^2 + 0.45x - 7 = 0

Discriminant: b^2 - 4ac = (0.45)^2 - 4( - 0.005)(-7) = 0.2025 - 0.14 = 0.0625

Discriminant > 0 => the equation has two real and different solutions.

Find the rate of change
Zina [86]

“Rate of change” means the same as “slope.”

In algebra, we use the word "slope" to describe how steep a line

is and slope can be found using the ratio rise/run between

any two points that are on that line.

Starting from the point that has the coordinate (-1, -1),

we rise go 1 unit down so our rise is -1 and run 3 units.

So our slope or rise/run is -1/3.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-3,4) and (-3,-4)
suter [353]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -4-4)/( -3 - -3)

   = ( -4-4)/( -3+3)

   = -8/0

When we divide by zero, the answer is undefined so the slope is undefined
