Answer:

y=-135x+1500

Step-by-step explanation:

first you see that the starting point of the equation in $1500( y-axis) which would be the b part of the equation

Next you would take (4,960) which is at 4 months he had $960 left and (6,690) where at 6 months he had $690 left.

You would do change of y over change of x to get -135 as your slope

then you would plug in the finial equation y= -135x(slope)+ 1500( your starting point)

The liquid base of an ice cream has an initial temperature of 86°C before it is placed in a freezer with a constant temperature

Karolina [17]

The temperature of the ice cream 2 hours after it was placed in the freezer is 37.40 °C

From Newton's law of cooling, we have that

$T_{(t)}= T_{s}+(T_{0} - T_{s})e^{kt}$

Where

$(t) = \ time$

$T_{(t)} = \ the \ temperature \ of \ the \ body \ at \ time \ (t)$

$T_{s} = Surrounding \ temperature$

$T_{0} = Initial \ temperature \ of \ the \ body$

$k = constant$

From the question,

$T_{0} = 86 ^{o}C$

$T_{s} = -20 ^{o}C$

∴ $T_{0} - T_{s} = 86^{o}C - -20^{o}C = 86^{o}C +20^{o}C$

$T_{0} - T_{s} = 106^{o} C$

Therefore, the equation $T_{(t)}= T_{s}+(T_{0} - T_{s})e^{kt}$ becomes

$T_{(t)}=-20+106 e^{kt}$

Also, from the question

After 1 hour, the temperature of the ice-cream base has decreased to 58°C.

That is,

At time $t = 1 \ hour$ , $T_{(t)} = 58^{o}C$

Then, we can write that

$T_{(1)}=58 = -20+106 e^{k(1)}$

Then, we get

$58 = -20+106 e^{k(1)}$

Now, solve for $k$

First collect like terms

$58 +20 = 106 e^{k}$

$78 =106 e^{k}$

Then,

$e^{k} = \frac{78}{106}$

$e^{k} = 0.735849$

Now, take the natural log of both sides

$ln(e^{k}) =ln( 0.735849)$

$k = -0.30673$

This is the value of the constant $k$

Now, for the temperature of the ice cream 2 hours after it was placed in the freezer, that is, at $t = 2 \ hours$

From

$T_{(t)}=-20+106 e^{kt}$

Then

$T_{(2)}=-20+106 e^{(-0.30673 \times 2)}$

$T_{(2)}=-20+106 e^{-0.61346}$

$T_{(2)}=-20+106\times 0.5414741237$

$T_{(2)}=-20+57.396257$

$T_{(2)}=37.396257 \ ^{o}C$

$T_{(2)} \approxeq 37.40 \ ^{o}C$

Hence, the temperature of the ice cream 2 hours after it was placed in the freezer is 37.40 °C

A bond quoted at 93 (1/8) is equal to ___ per 1,000.00 of the face amount.

Ksju [112]

The number a bond is the percentage of the value of the bond that the bond is worth. Because the bond is quoted at 93, the bond is worth $930 per $1,000.

Evaluate the given integral by changing to polar coordinates. 8xy dA D , where D is the disk with center the origin and radius 9

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

∫∫8xydA

converting to polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ and dA = rdrdθ.

So,

∫∫8xydA = ∫∫8(rcosθ)(rsinθ)rdrdθ = ∫∫8r²(cosθsinθ)rdrdθ = ∫∫8r³(cosθsinθ)drdθ

So we integrate r from 0 to 9 and θ from 0 to 2π.

∫∫8r³(cosθsinθ)drdθ = 8∫[∫r³dr](cosθsinθ)dθ

= 8∫[r⁴/4]₀⁹(cosθsinθ)dθ

= 8∫[9⁴/4 - 0⁴/4](cosθsinθ)dθ

= 8[6561/4]∫(cosθsinθ)dθ

= 13122∫(cosθsinθ)dθ

Since sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ, sinθcosθ = (sin2θ)/2

Substituting this we have

13122∫(cosθsinθ)dθ = 13122∫(1/2)(sin2θ)dθ

= 13122/2[-cos2θ]/2 from 0 to 2π

13122/2[-cos2θ]/2 = 13122/4[-cos2(2π) - cos2(0)]

= -13122/4[cos4π - cos(0)]

= -13122/4[1 - 1]

= -13122/4 × 0

= 0
