At 6 am alicia pours a cup of tea whose temperature is 200 F. the tea starts to cool to room temperature (72 F). An exponential

model for the temperature of the tea is y=128(0.988)^x +72. where y is the temperature and x minutes after 6:00 am alicia will drink the tea when its temperature is 115 F. When can alicia drink the tea?

Answer:

7:30 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 128(0.988)ˣ + 72

115 = 128(0.988)ˣ + 72

43 = 128(0.988)ˣ

0.336 = 0.988ˣ

log 0.336 = x log 0.988

x = 90.4

Rounded to the nearest minute, Alicia will drink the tea 90 minutes after 6:00 AM, or 7:30 AM.

Find the area of the triangle ABC with the coordinates of A(10, 15) B(15, 15) C(30, 9).
lions [1.4K]

Check the picture below.  so, that'd be the triangle's sides hmmm so let's use Heron's Area formula for it.

~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{\large distance between 2 points}}{d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}}~\hfill~ \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{15}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{15}) ~\hfill a=\sqrt{[ 15- 10]^2 + [ 15- 5]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{a=\sqrt{125}} \\\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{15}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{15})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{30}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) ~\hfill b=\sqrt{[ 30- 15]^2 + [ 9- 15]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{b=\sqrt{261}}

(\stackrel{x_1}{30}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) ~\hfill c=\sqrt{[ 10- 30]^2 + [ 5- 9]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{c=\sqrt{416}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\qquad \textit{Heron's area formula} \\\\ A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\qquad \begin{cases} s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=\sqrt{125}\\ b=\sqrt{261}\\ c=\sqrt{416}\\ s\approx 23.87 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A\approx\sqrt{23.87(23.87-\sqrt{125})(23.87-\sqrt{261})(23.87-\sqrt{416})}\implies \boxed{A\approx 90}

Ja'kniya and Alayjah are shopping at the Apple Store. Ja'kniya bought 4 screensavers and 3 Otterboxes for $29. Alayjah bought 6
Katarina [22]

Answer:  Each screensaver costs $2 and each Otterbox costs $7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Cost of each screensaver and y = cost of each Otterbox.

As per given, 4x+3y=29       (i)

6x +2y = 26  (ii)

Divide both sides of (i) by 2 and the multiply it by 3 on sides , we get

9x+3y=39    (iii)

Eliminate (i) from (iii) , we get

5x = 10

⇒ x = 2  [Divide both sides by 5]

Put value of x in (i), we get

4(2)+3y=29

⇒ 8+3y= 29

⇒ 3y= 21

⇒ y =7 [Divide both sides by 7]

Hence, Each screensaver costs $2 and each Otterbox costs $7.

(1/27)^x-6=27<br><br>Could I please have a step by step as well? Much appreciated! ​
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use Division Distributive Property: (x/y)^a = x^a/y^a.

\frac{1}{ {27}^{x - 8} }  = 27

2) Multiply both sides by 27^x - 8.

1 =  {27} \times 27^{1 + x  - 8}

3) Use the product rule: x^a x^b = x^a+b.

1 =  {27}^{1 + x - 8}

4) Simplify 1 + x - 8 to x - 7.

1  =  {27}^{x - 7}

5) Use Definition of Common Logarithm: b^a = x if and only if log<u>b</u><u> </u>(x) = a.

log_{27}1 = x - 7

6) Use Change of Base Rule.

\frac{ log_1  }{  log{27} }  = x - 7

7) Use rule of 1: log 1 = 0.

\frac{0}{ log_{27}}  = x - 7

8) Simplify 0/log_27 to 0.

0 = x - 7

9) Add 7 to both sides.

7 = x

10) Switch sides.

x = 7

<u>Therefor</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>7</u><u>.</u>

Given RT below, if S lies on RT such that the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, find the coordinates of S.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

S(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;

S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;

x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1

Substitute the values into the formula;

X = ax2+bx1/a+b

X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1

X = -3-5/4

X = -8/4

X = -2

Similarly;

Y = ay2+by1/a+b

Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1

Y = -15+3/4

Y = -12/4

Y = -3

Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)
