The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

You invested ​$20,000 in two accounts paying 7% and 8% annual​ interest, respectively. If the total interest earned for the year
sasho [114]

Answer:

$7,000 at 7%; $13,000 at 8%

Step-by-step explanation

x: the amount invested at 7%

y: the amount invested at 8%

x + y = 20,000

7%.x + 8%.y = 1,530

⇒ x =7,000

y = 13,000

Factor completely. 5x^2+44x-9
Leni [432]

Answer:

(x + 9)(5x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x² + 44x - 9

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × - 9 = - 45 and sum = + 44

The factors are + 45 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

5x² + 45x - x - 9 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(x + 9) - 1(x + 9) ← factor out (x + 9) from each term

= (x + 9)(5x - 1) ← in factored form
