Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

A heated piece of metal cools according to the function c(x) = (0.5)^{x-11}

And a device which aids in cooling is added is represented by the function h(x) = -x - 3

Temperature of the metal after x hours will be represented by

c(x) + h(x) = (0.5)^{x-11}+(-x-3)

               = (0.5)^{x-11}-x-3

We have to find the temperature after 5 hours

So c(5) - h(5) = (0.5)^{5-11}-5-3

                     = (0.5)^{-6}-8

                     = 64 - 8

                     = 56° Celsius

Option D is the answer.

You just need to replace x with 5 in each function

.5^5 - 11
-5-3

.5 ^-6
-8


64 - 8 = 56 A Celcius

Hope this helps
