Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the temperature variation with time given in an exponential equation as follows;

Let the temperature at time x (in minutes) = y

Therefore, y = a × mˣ + b

Where:

b = Shift of the curve or the limit value of the decreasing exponential function as x → ∞

When y = 200, x = 0

Therefore. 200 = a × m⁰ + c = a + c

We note that c is the shift of the graph, the value upon which temperature increases = final temperature = 72°F

Hence a = 200 - 72 = 128°F

When y = 197, x = 2 minutes

Therefore, 197 = 128·m² + 72 =

m² = (197 - 72)/128 = 125/128

m = √(125/128) = 0.98821

Hence the exponential equation of cooling is presented in the following equation;

y = 128 × (0.98821)ˣ + 72

Therefore, y = 128(0.989)x + 72

When the temperature is 172°F we have;

170 = 128 × (0.989)ˣ + 72

∴ (0.989)ˣ = (170 - 72)/128

= 98/128

= 0.7656

log(0.989)ˣ = log(0.7656)

x·log(0.989) = log(0.7656)

x = log(0.7656)/log(0.989)

= 24.15 minutes

likoan [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 144 = x² - 12²

            = (x +12)(x - 12)

a² - b² = (a + b)(a-b)

What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation?<br> y = x + 3<br> y = x2 + 2x - 4
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation.

Equation (1) is : y=x+3

Equation (2) is : y=x^2+2x-4

Put the value of y form equation (1) to equation (2) such that,

x+3=x^2+2x-4

It can be seen from the above equation, that option (2) is same as above equation.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

if f(x)=3/x+2-√x-3. my last three classes are math and I'm dislexic I need help I'm reading things wrong
GarryVolchara [31]
f(x)=\dfrac3{x+2}-\sqrt{x-3}

Two immediate observations:

(1) Clearly, we can't have x=-2, since that would make both the rational and the square root terms undefined.

(2) If x is real, then \sqrt x only exists if x\ge0. This means that for \sqrt{x-3} to exist, we require x-3\ge0\implies x\ge3.

If x\ge3, then we don't have to worry about x ever taking on a value of -2.
