Answer:
-4.375
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to is divide two consecutive terms to calculate the common ratio
1/4 divided by 5/12 = 1/4 * 12/5 = 12/20 = 3/5
Ts temperature as a function of time is given by T(t)=a(1-e^kt)+b
the values of a and b area = 50 Fb = 350 F
this is very evident to equation the b is the initial temperatre of the oven which is 350 F
and also a is the initial temperature of the potato because it is the term multiplied by the exponent term which will indicate the temperature increasse of the potato
30% just means 30/100 which can be simplified to 3/10. In order to find the number of hits you just need to multiple .3 by the total attempts, being 240, which comes out as 76.
