Answer:

31.9 °C  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹  

ΔT  = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.

F(x)=-1/x
g(x)=√(3x-9)

Domain of (f/g)(x):  ??

1We find out the domain of f(x):
f(x) is a rational function, therefore can take real values if the denominator is not ("0"), therefore the domain of f, will be all values excpet "0"
Domain of  f: (-∞,0)U(0,+∞); 


                                                          o
----------------------------------------------O-------------------------------------------
←-------- -∞                                                               +∞           ----------→


g(x) is a radical square root  function, therefore the radicand have to be greater than o equal to "0"
3x-9≥0
3x≥9
x≥3

                                                         3
.........................................................Ф--------------------------------
←--------- - ∞                                                        +∞ -----------→
          
(f/g)(x) = (-1/x) / (√(3x-9)) is a rational function with a square root in the denominator,also the square root don´t take the value of "0";
Therefore:
3x-9>0
3x>9
x>3

The domain of the function (f/g)(x) only can take the values found in all three domains at once.

When an atom gains an electron to become an ion what happens to its size?
irina [24]
It stays roughly the same size. Electrons have a barely imperceptible mass so the overall mass of the atom is changed very little.

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
