It was given that:

and

The common difference is

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

Expand to get,

The explicit rule is

Answer:
a). 59.049°C
b). 2.1179 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Expression representing the final temperature after decrease in temperature of the metal from 100°C to T°C is,
T = 
where x = duration of cooling
a). Temperature when x = 5 seconds
T = 100(0.9)⁵
= 59.049
≈ 59.049°C
b). If the temperature of the metal decreases from 100°C to 80°C
Which means for T = 80°C we have to calculate the duration of cooling 'x' seconds
80 = 
0.8 = 
By taking log on both the sides
log(0.8) =log[
]
-0.09691 = x[log(0.9)]
-0.09691 = -0.045757x
x = 
x = 2.1179
x ≈ 2.1179 seconds
You will need 89 drums to ship out 5,300 liters if each drum holds 60 gallons.

The term that can be added to the list so the GCF is 12h3 would be 48h5.
The reason being is that 48 is first divisible by 12 and does not yield a fraction, and we can remove upon dividing 3 h's from this term as it contains a total of 5 h's.
