Answer:

With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.

A welder drops a piece of red-hot steel on the floor. The initial temperature of the steel is 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambi

sergey [27]

Answer: After 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial temperature = 2500

At t = 0,

we get that

$f(t)=Ce^{-kt}+80\\\\2500=C+80\\\\2500-80=C\\\\2420=C$

After 2 minutes, the temperature of the steel is 1500 degrees.

so, it becomes,

$1500=2420e^{-2k}+80\\\\1500-80=2420e^{-2k}\\\\\dfrac{1420}{2420}=e^{-2k}\\\\0.587=e^{-2k}\\\\\ln 0.587=-2k\\\\-0.533=-2k\\\\k=\dfrac{0.533}{2}\\\\k=0.266$

So, We need to find the number of minutes when the temperature of steel would be 100 degrees.

So, it becomes,

$100=2420e^{-0.266t}+80\\\\100-80=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\20=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\\dfrac{20}{2420}=e^{-0.266t}\\\\\ln \dfrac{20}{2420}=-0.266t\\\\-4.8=-0.266t\\\\t=\dfrac{4.8}{0.266}\\\\t=18.05$

Hence, after 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Geometry The length of a rectangle is repfesented by 4a + 3b, and its width is represented by 3a 2b. Write a polynomial for the

Finger [1]

the correct question is
<span>The length of a rectangle is represented by 4a + 3b, and its width is represented by 3a-2b. Write a polynomial for the perimeter of the rectangle. What is the minimum perimeter of the rectangle if a=12 and b is a non-zero </span>whole number?

we know that
Perimeter of a rectangle=2*[length + width]
length=(4a+3b)
width=3a-2b
so
P=2*[(4a+3b)+(3a-2b)]-----> P=2*[7a+b]-----> P=14a+2b

the answer part a) is
A polynomial for the perimeter of the rectangle is P=14a+2b

Part b)
for a=12
P=14*12+2b---------> P=168+2b
<span>the minimum perimeter of the rectangle is for b=1
</span>so
P=168+2*1-----> P=170 units

the answer part b) is
the minimum perimeter of the rectangle is 170 units
