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
