Solution:

Use Newton's Law of Cooling.  


T = T_s + (T_0 - T_s)*e^(-kt)  


where  

T = temperature at any instant  

T_s = temperature of surroundings  

T_0 = original temperature  

t = elapsed time  

k = constant  


Now, we need to find this constant. We are given that after one hour, the temperature drops to 13° C in a 7°C Environment.  

T = 14, T_0 = 24, T_s = -15, t = 1, k = ?  

T = T_s + (T_0 - T_s)*e^(-kt)  

==> 14 = -15 + (24 - 7)*e^(-k)  

==> 14 = 7 + 17*e^(-k)  

==> 7 = 17*e^(-k)  

==> 7/13 = e^(-k)  

==> -k = ln(7/17)  

==> k = -ln(7/17) ≈ 0.774  

Now,


Let's calculate temperatures!  

T = ?, T_0 = 24, T_s = -15, k = 0.773, t = 3  

T = T_s + (T_0 - T_s)*e^(-kt)  

==> T = -15 + (24 –(-15))*e^[ -(0.774)(2) ]  

==> T = -15 + 39*e^(-1.548)  

==> T ≈ 15.72° C  

This the required answer.

topjm [15]

Answer:the smallest possible sum of the two numbers is 537

Step-by-step explanation:

Two three-digit numbers are made up of six different digits.

To interpret this, let the two three digit numbers be;

ABC and. DEF

The first digit of the second number is twice as big as the last digit of the first number.

Interpret;

D=2C

The first digit of the first number can be 1, the second digit 0 and the third digit 2.

102.

For the second number:

D=2C

The first digit is 4, second digit 3 and last digit 5 since no repetition of digits

435.

Answer:the smallest possible sum of the two numbers is

102+435= 537

A pharmacist is trying to stock the pharmacy with cheaper alternatives for customers. She will stop carrying the more expensive
raketka [301]

Answer : C.  Caplet form is the most expensive.

Tablet form comes in 50 mg tablets and cost $75.00 for a bottle of 100 tablets.

50 mg of 100 tablets so 50 * 100 = 5000mg

5000mg cost = $75.00

So 1mg of tablet form cost = \frac{75}{5000} = 0.015

Capsule form comes in 75 mg capsules and cost $63.75 for a bottle of 85  capsules

75 mg of 85  capsules,  so 75 * 85 = 6375mg

6375mg cost = $63.75

So 1mg of Capsule form cost = \frac{63.75}{6375} = $0.01

Caplet form comes in 100 mg caplets and cost $70.00 for 40 caplets

100 mg of 40 caplets ,  so 100 * 40 = 4000 mg

4000mg cost = $70.00

So 1mg of Caplet form cost = \frac{70}{4000} = $0.0175

Caplet form is the most expensive.
