Answer:

The temperature in 4 hours = -2 °F

Thus, option (D) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y = mx+b

where m is the rate of change or slope and b is the y-intercept

  • Let 'y' be the temperature
  • Let 'x' be the time of the temperature in the hour

Given that the current temperature outside = 10°F.

Thus, the y-intercept = b = 10°F

Given that as the day went on, It will fall at a constant rate of 3°F per hour.

Thus, the slope or rate of change = -3°F

(The rate of change or slope is -3 because the temperature is reducing)

Thus, the rate of change = slope = m = -3

Thus, substituting m = -3 and b = 10 in the equation

y = mx+b

y = -3x + 10

Now, substituting x = 4 to determine the temperature after 4 hours.

y = -3(4) + 10

y = -12 + 12

y = -2 °F

Therefore, the temperature in 4 hours = -2 °F

Thus, option (D) is true.

The radius of circle A is three feet less than twice the diameter of circle B. If the sun mmm of the diameters of both circles i
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Area of Circle A = 1133.54

Circumference of Circle A= 119.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sum of both circle diameters= 49 feet.

           Circle A radius= Three feet less than twice the diameter of circle B.

Lets assume diameter of Circle B is "x"

∴ Circle A radius (r)= (2x-3)

We know, the diameter of circle is 2r

Diameter of Circle A is 2\times (2x-3)

Next as given sum of both circle diameter is 49 feet.

∴ 2(2x-3)+x= 49\ feet

distributing 2 with 2x and -3

⇒ 4x-6+x= 49

⇒5x-6= 49

Adding both side by 6

⇒5x=55

Cross multiplying both side.

⇒x=\frac{55}{5} = 11

∴ Diameter of circle B is 11 feet.

Next, subtituting the value of x to get the value of radius for Circle A.

Radius of circle A= (2x-3)

⇒ Radius of circle A= (2\times 11-3)= 22-3

∴ Radius of circle A= 19 feet.

Area of circle= \pi r^{2}

Taking π= 3.14

Area of circle A= 3.14\times 19^{2} = 3.14\times 361

∴ Area of circle A= 1133.54

Circumference of circle= 2πr

Circumference of Circle A= 2\times 3.14\times 19= 119.32

∴ Circumference of Circle A= 119.32

Determine the sum of the arithmetic series: 5+18 +31 +44 + ... 161.
Finger [1]

Answer:

1079

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

18-5 = 13

31-18=13

44-31=13

161=5+13*12

So we need to compute

\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{k=12} \ {(5+13k)}\\\\=\sum_{k=0}^{k=12} \ {(5)} + 13\sum_{k=1}^{k=12} \ {(k)}\\\\=13*5+13*\dfrac{12*13}{2}\\\\=65+13*13*6\\\\=65+1014\\\\=1079

Thanks

Suppose you invest $500 at an annual interest rate of 8.2% compounded continuously. How much will you have in the account after
Marianna [84]
Here is the formula that your going to need to use A=P(1+r/n)^nt
  So P=500, R=0.082, N=1, T=15
 Plug it into your equation and you have A=500(1+0.082/1)^(1)(15)
 Simplify what's in the parenthesis A=500(1.082)^(1)(15)
 Multiply your exponents A=500(1.082)^15 Then A=500(3.26)
 Finally you multiply your last two numbers to get A=1,630
 So after 15 years you would have $1,630
I hope this helped you :)
