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

Hey there!

\mathsf{\dfrac{2}{9}\div\dfrac{5}{6}}

\mathsf{= \dfrac{2\times6}{9\times5}}

\mathsf{2\times 6 = \bf 12}

\mathsf{9\times5 = \bf 45}

\boxed{\mathsf{=\bf \dfrac{12}{45}}}

\large\textsf{BOTH NUMBERS has the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 3}

\mathsf{= \dfrac{12\div3}{45\div3}}

\mathsf{12\div3=\bf 4}

\mathsf{45\div3=\bf 15}

\boxed{\mathsf{=\bf  \dfrac{4}{15}}}

The sum of −7 times a number and 8 times the sum of the number and 1 is the same as the number minus 7.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

n has no value.

There is no solution to this equation

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the number

In pieces:

sum of the number and 1: (n + 1)

8 times the sum: 8(n + 1)

-7 times a number: -7n

sum of -7 times and...: -7n + 8(n + 1)

number minus 7: n - 7

the same as: =

All together:

-7n + 8(n + 1) = n - 7

-7n + 8(n+1)=n-7

-7n + 8n+8=n-7

0=-15
