A roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has reached 185 degrees F and is placed on a table in a room where the

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

(a) Using Newton's Law of Cooling, $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - T_s)$ , we have $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - 75)$ where T is temperature after T minutes.
Separate by dividing both sides by T - 75 to get $\dfrac{dT}{T - 75} = k dt$ . Integrate both sides to get $\ln|T - 75| = kt + C$ .

Since $T(0) = 185$ , we solve for C:
$|185 - 75| = k(0) + C\ \Rightarrow\ C = \ln 110$
So we get $\ln|T - 75| = kt + \ln 110$ . Use T(30) = 150 to solve for k:
$\ln| 150 - 75 | = 30k + \ln 110\ \Rightarrow\ \ln 75 - \ln 110= 30k \Rightarrow \\ k= \frac{1}{30}\ln (75/110) = \frac{1}{30}\ln(15/22)$

So

$\ln|T - 75| = kt + \ln 110 \Rightarrow |T - 75| = e^{kt + \ln110} \Rightarrow \\ \\
|T - 75| = 110e^{kt} \Rightarrow T - 75 = \pm110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} \Rightarrow \\
T = 75 \pm110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t}$

But choose Positive because T > 75. Temp of turkey can't go under.

$T(t) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} \\
T(45) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)(45)} = 136.929 \approx 137{}^{\circ}F$

(b)

$T(t) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} = 75 + 110(15/22)^{t/30} \\
100 = 75 + 110(15/22)^{t/30} \\
25 = 110(15/22)^{t/30} 
\frac{25}{110} = (15/22)^{t/30} \\
\ln(25/110) / ln(15/22) = t/30 \\
t = 30\ln(25/110) / ln(15/22) \approx 116\ \mathrm{min}$

Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold if if she caused if she collected $22. In sales tax what was the cost of t

Advocard [28]

Im assuming the question is asking: if she collected $22 in sales tax what was the cost of the items her store sold. you should make sure you type the question correctly otherwise it'll be hard to answer.

going with my assumption of what the question is, we want to find the total cost of all items her story sold. let that cost be c. since there is 5% sales tax on everything and we know the sales tax is worth $22,m we have:

5%(c) = 22
dividing both sides by 5% (or .05) gives:
c = $440

Tan (angle B) using an exact expression in trigonometric ratios in right triangles

goblinko [34]

The value of the tangent of an angle is the ratio (opposite side) / (adjacent side).

Here you see that the opposite side (opposite to Angle B) is of length 5 and the adj. side has length 12.

Thus, the tan of Angle B is 5/12. (answer)
