Murphy loves pistachio nuts. Every Saturday morning, she walks to the market and buy some. Last week, she bought two pounds and

paid $7.96, and this week she bought only one half pound and paid $1.99, what's the constant rate of proportionality?

Answer:

3.98

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question,

Cost is directly proportional to the Number of pounds

Hence:

C ∝ N

= C = kN

Where k = Proportionality constant

We are told:

Last week, she bought two pounds and paid $7.96,

Hence:

7.96 = 2k

k = 7.96/2

k = 3.98

This week she bought only one half pound and paid $1.99,

1.99 = k × 1/2

k = 1.99/ 1/2

k = 3.98

Hence, the constant rate of proportionality is 3.98

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -2) and

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The equation of line is: $\mathbf{4x-3y=-18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -2) and (-3, 2)?

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We need to find slope and y-intercept.

Finding Slope

Slope can be found using formula: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have $x_1=-6,y_1=-2, x_2=-3, y_2=2$

Putting values and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{2-(-2)}{-3-(-6)}\\Slope=\frac{2+2}{-3+6} \\Slope=\frac{4}{3}$

So, we get slope: $m=\frac{4}{3}$

Finding y-intercept

Using point (-6,-2) and slope $m=\frac{4}{3}$ we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\-2=\frac{4}{3}(-6)+b\\-2=4(-2)+b\\-2=-8+b\\b=-2+8\\b=6$

So, we get y-intercept b= 6

Equation of required line

The equation of required line having slope $m=\frac{4}{3}$ and y-intercept b = 6 is

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{4}{3}x+6$

Now transforming in fully reduced form:

$y=\frac{4x+6*3}{3} \\y=\frac{4x+18}{3} \\3y=4x+18\\4x-3y=-18$

So, the equation of line is: $\mathbf{4x-3y=-18}$

A roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has reached 185 degrees F and is placed on a table in a room where the

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

(a) Using Newton's Law of Cooling, $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - T_s)$ , we have $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - 75)$ where T is temperature after T minutes.
Separate by dividing both sides by T - 75 to get $\dfrac{dT}{T - 75} = k dt$ . Integrate both sides to get $\ln|T - 75| = kt + C$ .

Since $T(0) = 185$ , we solve for C:
$|185 - 75| = k(0) + C\ \Rightarrow\ C = \ln 110$
So we get $\ln|T - 75| = kt + \ln 110$ . Use T(30) = 150 to solve for k:
$\ln| 150 - 75 | = 30k + \ln 110\ \Rightarrow\ \ln 75 - \ln 110= 30k \Rightarrow \\ k= \frac{1}{30}\ln (75/110) = \frac{1}{30}\ln(15/22)$

So

$\ln|T - 75| = kt + \ln 110 \Rightarrow |T - 75| = e^{kt + \ln110} \Rightarrow \\ \\
|T - 75| = 110e^{kt} \Rightarrow T - 75 = \pm110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} \Rightarrow \\
T = 75 \pm110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t}$

But choose Positive because T > 75. Temp of turkey can't go under.

$T(t) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} \\
T(45) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)(45)} = 136.929 \approx 137{}^{\circ}F$

(b)

$T(t) = 75 + 110e^{(1/30)\ln(15/22)t} = 75 + 110(15/22)^{t/30} \\
100 = 75 + 110(15/22)^{t/30} \\
25 = 110(15/22)^{t/30} 
\frac{25}{110} = (15/22)^{t/30} \\
\ln(25/110) / ln(15/22) = t/30 \\
t = 30\ln(25/110) / ln(15/22) \approx 116\ \mathrm{min}$
