Answer:

The temperature decreases by 5°F every 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Time (h) and y = Temperature (°F). The rate at which the temperature decreases every hour is represented by the slope of the line, that is, m = Δy/Δx.

We have the following ordered-pairs:

  • (0 h, 45 °F)
  • (5 h; 20 °F)

With these values, we can calculate the slope of the line.

m = Δy/Δx = (20 °F - 45°F) / (5 h - 0 h) = -5 °F/h

The temperature decreases by 5°F every 1 hour.

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

Decreases by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the gradient ( or slope ), this finds out how the graph is decreasing or increasing, this can be done by using the following formula:

\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }

Where x1 and y1 are in the same coordinate set, plug the values in:

\frac{45 - 20}{0 - 5}

\frac{25}{-5}

= -5

So every hour it decreases by 5.

Does anybody know how to do time with exponential decay
My name is Ann [436]
<span>From the message you sent me:

when you breathe normally, about 12 % of the air of your lungs is replaced with each breath. how much of the original 500 ml remains after 50 breaths

If you think of number of breaths that you take as a time measurement, you can model the amount of air from the first breath you take left in your lungs with the recursive function

b_n=0.12\times b_{n-1}

Why does this work? Initially, you start with 500 mL of air that you breathe in, so b_1=500\text{ mL}. After the second breath, you have 12% of the original air left in your lungs, or b_2=0.12\timesb_1=0.12\times500=60\text{ mL}. After the third breath, you have b_3=0.12\timesb_2=0.12\times60=7.2\text{ mL}, and so on.

You can find the amount of original air left in your lungs after n breaths by solving for b_n explicitly. This isn't too hard:

b_n=0.12b_{n-1}=0.12(0.12b_{n-2})=0.12^2b_{n-2}=0.12(0.12b_{n-3})=0.12^3b_{n-3}=\cdots

and so on. The pattern is such that you arrive at

b_n=0.12^{n-1}b_1

and so the amount of air remaining after 50 breaths is

b_{50}=0.12^{50-1}b_1=0.12^{49}\times500\approx3.7918\times10^{-43}

which is a very small number close to zero.</span>
