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.

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min, find the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter d
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of an snowball

The surface area of an snowball has the following equation:

S_{a} = \pi d^2

In which d is the diameter.

Implicit differentiation:

To solve this question, we differentiate the equation for the surface area implictly, in function of t. So

\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

Surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min

This means that \frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = -3

Tind the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.

This is \frac{dd}{dt} when d = 9. So

\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

-3 = 2*9\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -\frac{3}{18\pi}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -0.053

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Unit 10: circles homework 2: central angles & arc measures
tresset_1 [31]

The central angle (127 degrees) is the angle at point K

The measures of JL and JML are 127 and 233 degrees, respectively

<h3>How to determine the measures of angles JL and JML?</h3>

From the complete question, we have:

JL = 127 degrees.

The sum of angles at a point is 360 degrees

So, we have:

JML + 127 = 360

Subtract 127 from both sides

JML = 233

Hence, the measures of JL and JML are 127 and 233 degrees, respectively
