Answer: C. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The formula below can be used to find D, the difference in temperature between the pan and the room after t minutes.

At t= 8 minutes, we get

The approximate temperature of the pan after it has been away from the heat for 8 minutes= 
The answer is 0.5.
X is the input and f(x) is the output. Between -3 and -2 the difference is 0.5. Because it goes from -0.5 to 1
a.
This is the geometric sequence: a1 = 1.5 m = 150
cm, r = 0.74
The formula now is an = a1 x r ^ n-1
Just substitute a1 = 150 cm and r = 0.74
an = 150 x (0.74) ^ n – 1
b.
The second part is:
A6 = 150 x 0.74 ^ 6-1
= 150 x 0.74 ^5
= 150 x 0.221906624
= 33.28509936 cm
