Answer:
The beam initial temperature is 5 °F.
Step-by-step explanation:
If T(t) is the temperature of the beam after t minutes, then we know, by Newton’s Law of Cooling, that

where
is the ambient temperature,
is the initial temperature,
is the time and
is a constant yet to be determined.
The goal is to determine the initial temperature of the beam, which is to say 
We know that the ambient temperature is
, so

We also know that when
the temperature is
and when
the temperature is
which gives:


Rearranging,


If we divide these two equations we get


Now, that we know the value of
we can use it to find the initial temperature of the beam,

so the beam started out at 5 °F.
Answer:
- hits the ground at x = -0.732, and x = 2.732
- only the positive solution is reasonable
Step-by-step explanation:
The acorn will hit the ground where the value of x is such that y=0. We can find these values of x by solving the quadratic using any of several means.

<h3>graphing</h3>
The attachment shows a graphing calculator solution to the equation
-3x^2 + 6x + 6 = 0
The values of x are -0.732 and 2.732. The negative value is the point where the acorn would have originated from if its parabolic path were extrapolated backward in time. Only the positive horizontal distance is a reasonable solution.

<h3>completing the square</h3>
We can also solve the equation algebraically. One of the simplest methods is "completing the square."
-3x^2 +6x +6 = 0
x^2 -2x = 2 . . . . . . . . divide by -3 and add 2
x^2 -2x +1 = 2 +1 . . . . add 1 to complete the square
(x -1)^2 = 3 . . . . . . . . written as a square
x -1 = ±√3 . . . . . . . take the square root
x = 1 ±√3 . . . . . . . add 1; where the acorn hits the ground
The numerical values of these solutions are approximately ...
x ≈ {-0.732, 2.732}
The solutions to the equation say the acorn hits the ground at a distance of -0.732 behind Jacob, and at a distance of 2.732 in front of Jacob. The "behind" distance represents and extrapolation of the acorn's path backward in time before Jacob threw it. Only the positive solution is reasonable.
Answer:
8.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide $22.10 over 2.6 pounds of salmon
Because one batch of cookies uses up 1.5 cups of flour, we can write this as:
batch of cookies = 1.5 cups of flour
Because she made 3 batches we can say:
batch of cookies = 1.5 cup of flour * 3 (because she has made three)
This equals to 3 batches of cookies using up 4.5 cups of flour.
Because at the beginning she had 5 cups and she has used 4.5 cups of flour for making the batches of cookies, she is left with 0.5 cups of flour:
5 cups at the start - 4.5 cups used for cooking = 0.5 cups in the end.
