Answer: -10.75 Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, A heated piece of metal cools according to the function,

c(x) = (.5)^x-7

Where x represents the number of hours.

Again according to the question, A device is added that aids in cooling according to the function h(x) = -x - 2.

Therefore the resultant function, f(x) = c(x)+h(x)

Thus, f(x)=(.5)^x - 7 - x- 2

⇒f(x)=(.5)^x - x -9, where x is the number of hours.

After two hours, x=2

f(2)= (.5)^2 - 2 -9

⇒f(2)= (.5)^2 - 11

⇒f(2)=  -10.75 Celsius

PERSEVERE Find the values of x and y,
Vlad [161]

y² = 8y - 15 (alternate angles are equal)

y² - 8y + 15 = 0

(y - 5)(y - 3) = 0

y = 5 or 3

x + 8y - 15 = 180 (angles in a straight line add up to 180)

when y = 5

x + 40 - 15 = 180

x = 155°

when y = 3

x + 24 - 15 = 180

x = 171°
