Answer:
66 °F
Step-by-step explanation:
At 4 P.M., the temperature had decreased by 3° from the temperature at 3 P.M., so was ...
4 P.M. temp = 78 °F -3° = 75 °F
This was repeated until 7 P.M.
5 P.M. temp = 75 °F -3° = 72 °F
6 P.M. temp = 72 °F -3° = 69 °F
7 P.M. temp = 69 °F -3° = 66 °F
The temperature at 7 P.M. was 66 °F.
__
Of course the repeated subtraction can be simplified using multiplication. The subtraction of 3° four times is equivalent to the subtraction of . . .
(3°)(4) = 12°
That is, the temperature at 7 P.M. is ...
78 °F -3°×4 = 78 °F -12° = 66 °F
Answer: x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept
the algebraic approach would work like this:
-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b
plug in what you got, here: the intersection information
-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b
-16 + 10 = 1 + b
-6 = 1 + b
-7 = b
Answer:
The degree of the polynomial is 3.
