the formula that represents the equation point- slope is the following y-y1 = m(x-x1) where the point is given (-8,-3) and the slope is -1/9
then you mus substitute the values in the equation y-(-3) = -1/9[(x-(-8)] , resolving it y+3= -1/9 ( x+8) , y+3 = -1/9x+9/8, y = -1/9x +9/8-3, y = -1/9x-15/8

of this form the equation that represent the form point-slope is

y+3= -1/9 ( x+8)

Eight times the reciprocal<br> of a number equals 4 times<br> the reciprocal of 10.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

8(1/x) = 4(1/10)

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say the number is x

eight times the reciprocal of a number equals 4 times the reciprocal of 10

8 * 1//x = 4 * 1/10

8/x = 4/10 , cross multiply

4x =8*10, divide both sides by 4

x= 80/4

x= 20

A thermometer is taken from an inside room to the outside, where the air temperature is 20° f. after 1 minute the thermometer re

fomenos

The change in the temperature is proportional to the difference in temperatures. Let's call the initial temperature of the room and the thermometer $E_0$ and the current temperature $E(t)$ where $t$ is the elapsed time in minutes. The outside temperature is 20 F.

Newton's Law of Cooling:

$E(t) - 20 = (E_0 - 20) e^{- k t}$

We're given $E(1)=70 \textrm{ and } E(5)=45$

$70-20 = (E_0 - 20) e^{-k}$

$45-20 =(E_0 - 20) e^{-5k}$

Dividing,

$\dfrac{50}{25}=e^{4k}$

$k = \dfrac 1 4 \ln 2$

Now,

$E(t) - 20 = (E_0 - 20) e^{- k t}$

$E_0 = 20 + (E(t) - 20)e^{k t}$

$E_0 = 20 + (E(1) - 20)e^{k}$

$E_0 = 20 + (70 - 20)e^{\ln 2/4}$

$E_0 = 20 + 50 \cdot 2^{1/4} \approx 79.46 \textrm{ degrees F}$
