Answer:
3 12/18 or 3 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
you subtract them but since 11 is smaller than 17 you add 18 to it which then you subtract that by 17
(y^2-y-12)/(y^2-2y-15) factor both the numerator and denominator...
(y^2-4y+3y-12)/(y^2-5y+3y-15)
(y(y-4)+3(y-4))/(y(y-5)+3(y-5))
((y-4)(y+3))/((y-5)(y+3)) so the (y+3) terms cancel leaving
(y-4)/(y-5)
The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:
-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.
We calculate as follows:
-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C
The answer would be 787197
Hope this helps
