Answer:

1) The equation of the temperature in function of the time is

T(t) = 12 - 2t, with t in hours

The temperature is -4F after 8 hours, so, at P.M.

2) 6.75 = 7.50r

Her rate of deductions is 10% a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This problem can be modeled by a first order equation

T(t) = T(0) + rt

In which T(0) is the temperature at instant zero and r is the rate of growth(r>0) or decline(r<0).

Since at 12 noon, the temperature outside is 12F, T(0) = 12. The temperature drops at the steady rate of 2F an hour, so r = -2.

The equation of the temperature in function of the time is

T(t) = 12 - 2t, with t in hours

The temperature is -4F when

-4 = 12 - 2t

2t = 16

t = 8h

The temperature is -4F after 8 hours, so, at P.M.

2) This problem can be modeled by the following first order equation

P = rP(0).

Where P is her pay, r is the rate of the initial money that Zelly takes home and P(0) is her initial pay.

In hour problem, we have that P = $6.75 and P(0) = $7.50.

So

6.75 = 7.50r

r = \frac{6.75}{7.50}

r = 0.9

r = 0.9 means that Zelly keeps 90% of her pay. It means that her rate of deductions is 10% a day.

How do you find the difference between median and mean
Flura [38]
Median is the middle number. Ex:
1,3,5,7,10,13,14

The middle number is 7 because there is three numbers on either side of 7. The median would be 7.

The mean is when you add up all of the numbers and divide by the number of numbers. For example, 1,3,5,7,10,13,14
You add all of them. 1+3+5+7+10+13+14 equals 53. Then divide 53 by 7 because there are seven digits.

Median equals 7.57142857

Given (1, -3) and (5, 1). The slope of the line is The equation of the line is
guapka [62]

To find the slope of the line we can use the following formula:

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

1 - (-3)/5 - 1

4 / 4

1

<h3>The slope of the line is equal to 1.</h3>

To find the equation, we can just use slope-intercept form.

We already know the slope, so our current equation is y = x

By knowing the slope, we can apply the slope to our lowest pair of coordinates to find the y value when x = 0.

Subtract 1 from the x and y values of (1, -3)

(0, -4) is our new point, and so we know the y-intercept is -4.

<h3>Our equation for the line is y = x - 4</h3>
