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.

Can someone help me please this is due? ASAP
damaskus [11]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are supplementary they will have a sum of 180 degrees

The equation should look like this- (5x+4)+(4x+80)=180

after solving the equation- you get x=12

in order to see if that is correct you would plug in 12 where x is in our equation (5x+4)+(4x+80). which does equal 180 when 12 is plugged in

Therefore, 12 is your answer

Factor -7x^3+21x^2+3x-9 by grouping. what is the resulting expression?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

c) (3-7x^2)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x^3+21x^2+3x-9

Factor out a -7x^2 from the first two terms and a 3 from the last two terms

-7x^2 (x -3) +3(x-3)

Now factor out (x-3)

(x-3) (-7x^2+3)

Rearranging)

(x-3) (3-7x^2)
