Jane wishes to bake an apple pie for dessert. The baking instructions say that she should bake the pie in an oven at a constant

temperature of 230◦C. Being a mathematician, she knows that the temperature T of the pie after t minutes of baking will be given by T(t) = 230 − Ae−kt , where A and k are constants. After 18 minutes of baking she notices that the temperature of the pie is 138◦C, while after 36 minutes it is 184◦C. Determine the constants A and k.

Answer:

Therefore k= \frac{ln2 }{18}, A=184

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is

T(t)=230 -e^{-kt}

where T(t) is the temperature in °C and t is time in minute and A and k are constants.

She noticed that after 18 minutes the temperature of the pie is 138°C

Putting T(t) =138°C and t= 18 minutes

138=230 -Ae^{-k\times 18}

\Rightarrow  -Ae^{-18k}=138-230

\Rightarrow  Ae^{-18k}=92 .....(1)

Again after 36 minutes it is 184°C

Putting T(t) =184°C and t= 36 minutes

184=230-Ae^{-k\times 36}

\Rightarrow Ae^{-36k}=230-184

\Rightarrow Ae^{-36k}=46.......(2)

Dividing (2) by (1)

\frac{Ae^{-36k}}{Ae^{-18k}}=\frac{46}{92}

\Rightarrow e^{-18k}=\frac{46}{92}

Taking ln both sides

ln e^{-18k}=ln\frac{46}{92}

\Rightarrow -18k =ln (\frac12)

\Rightarrow -18k= ln1-ln2

\Rightarrow k= \frac{ln2 }{18}

Putting the value k in equation (1)

Ae^{-18\frac{ln2}{18}}=92

\Rightarrow A e^{ln2^{-1}}=92

\Rightarrow A.2^{-1}=92

\Rightarrow \frac{A}{2}=92

\Rightarrow A= 92 \times 2

⇒A= 184.

Therefore k= \frac{ln2 }{18}, A=184

Marsha sees an airplane flying overhead. The spot on the ground that is directly under the plane is 3,600 feet from Marsha's hou
Rudiy27

The elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

Let

  • h = elevation of plane,
  • d = distance from Marsha's house to spot on ground below plane = 3600 feet and
  • Ф = angle of elevation of plane = 45°

From the triangle, we have the trigonometric ratio

tanФ = h/D

<h3>Elevation of the plane</h3>

Making h subject of the formula, we have

h = DtanФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = DtanФ

h = 3600 ft × tan45°

h = 3600 ft × 1

h = 3600 ft

So, the elevation of the plane is 3600 ft
