At 2 PM, a thermometer reading 80°F is taken outside where the air temperature is 20°F. At 2:03 PM, the temperature reading yiel

ded by the thermometer is 42°F. Later, the thermometer is brought inside where the air is at 80°F. At 2:10 PM, the reading is 71°F. When was the thermometer brought indoors?

Use Law of Cooling:
T(t) = (T_0 - T_A)e^{-kt} +T_A
T0 = initial temperature, TA = ambient or final temperature

First solve for k using given info, T(3) = 42
42 = (80-20)e^{-3k} +20 \\  \\ e^{-3k} = \frac{22}{60}=\frac{11}{30} \\  \\ k = -\frac{1}{3} ln (\frac{11}{30})

Substituting k back into cooling equation gives:
T(t) = 60(\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} + 20

At some time "t", it is brought back inside at temperature "x".
We know that temperature goes back up to 71 at 2:10 so the time it is inside is 10-t, where t is time that it had been outside.
The new cooling equation for when its back inside is:
T(t) = (x-80)(\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} + 80 \\  \\ 71 = (x-80)(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{10-t}{3}} + 80
Solve for x:
x = -9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{t-10}{3}} + 80
Sub back into original cooling equation, x = T(t)
-9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{t-10}{3}} + 80 = 60 (\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} +20
Solve for t:
60 (\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} +9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{-10}{3}}(\frac{11}{30})^{t/3}  = 60 \\  \\  (\frac{11}{30})^{t/3} = \frac{60}{60+9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{-10}{3}}} \\  \\  \\ t = 3(\frac{ln(\frac{60}{60+9(\frac{11}{30})^{\frac{-10}{3}}})}{ln (\frac{11}{30})}) \\  \\ \\  t = 4.959

This means the exact time it was brought indoors was about 2.5 seconds before 2:05 PM

In a triangle, one of the angle measures 70°
Tanya [424]

Answer:

the two angles are 55° each

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal angles be y each

Therefore,

70° + y + y = 180°

Collect like terms

2y = 180 — 70

2y = 110

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e 2

y = 110/2

y = 55°

Therefore, the two angles are 55° each

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct answer in the box provided. Answer in terms of a mixed number. 7(2x + 6) =
BabaBlast [244]
Hey there! :D

7(2x+6)=1

Use the distributive property. Multiply each number by each other.

7*2x= 14x  7*6= 42

14x+42=1

Subtract 42 on both sides. 

14x= -41

Divide both sides by 14. 

We know that 14 goes into -41 almost three times.

14*3= 42 (there is one left over)

-2 13/14 (we just need one more part of 14) 

That is the simplified number.

I hope this helps!

Solve -x > 8 or -x < 4.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

x<−8 or x>−4

Step-by-step explanation:

−x>8 or −x<4

We know either −x>8 or −x<4

−x>8(Possibility 1)

−x

−1

>

8

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

x<−8

−x<4(Possibility 2)

−x

−1

<

4

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

x>−4
