Answer:
According to the passage, we have the next equation:
where "K" is a proportional constant
Leaving at the end with the next equation:
Integrating the equation, we have:
where "C" is a constant
Then, we have the 2 conditions for the problem:
1) t=0 → r=10
Replacing in the equation, we have C = 10
2) t=5 → r=8
Replacing in the equation, we have K = -0.4
Finally, the time which the snowball will be completely melted will be when r = 0. So replacing in the equation
t = 25 minutes
You have to look for -3 on the x axis, and then proceed vertically (in this case upwards) until you meet the graph.
We land about 1/2 square above the 12 mark on the y axis. Since one square is 1/2 unit, a half square would be 1/4 unit.
So, we can estimate
The slope of the function is given by its derivative. You want to find the values of x such that the derivative is between -1 and 1.
... f'(x) = 0.4x +5
... -1 < 0.4x +5 < 1 . . . . . your requirement for slope
... -6 < 0.4x < -4 . . . . . . subtract 5
... -15 < x < -10 . . . . . . . multiply by 2.5
Any value of x that is between -15 and -10 will be one where the tangent line has a slope between -1 and 1.
_____
The graph shows tangent lines with slopes of -1 and +1. You can see that the slope of the graph of f(x) is between those values when x is between the tangent points.
