A pan of warm water (46∘ Celsius) was put in a refrigerator. After 15 minutes, the water's temperature was 27∘ C; 15 minutes aft

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The refrigerator was at around 13 ∘C

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Law of Cooling:

The rate of change of a body temperature (amount of heat loss/time of loss) is directly proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the surroundings.

$\frac{T(t2)-T(t1)}{t2-t1} = -h (T(t2) - Tenv)$

T ⇒ temperature

t ⇒ time

Tenv ⇒refrigerator temperature

$\frac{T(t2)-T(t1)}{t2-t1}$ ⇒ rate of change of he temperature

-h ⇒ constant of proportionality (negative because the temperature is decreasing inside the refrigerator)

We have 3 points:

time (minutes) - Temperature (∘ C)

0 (when the pan was put in the refrigerator) - 46

15 (after 15 minutes) - 27

30 (15 minutes after the first 15 minutes) - 19

$\frac{27 - 46}{15 - 0}$ = -h (27 - Tenv)

$\frac{19 - 27}{15 - 0}$ = -h (19 - Tenv)

Now we have a system of two equations and two variables

$\frac{-19}{15} = -h (27 - Tenv)\\ \frac{19}{15} = h (27 - Tenv)\\ \frac{19}{15(27 - Tenv)} = h$

$\frac{19 - 27}{15 - 0} = -h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{-8}{15} = -h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{8}{15} = h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{8}{15} = \frac{19}{15(27 - Tenv)} (19 - Tenv)\\8(27 - Tenv) = 19 (19 - Tenv)\\216 - 8 Tenv = 361 - 19 Tenv\\19 Tenv - 8 Tenv = 361 - 216\\11 Tenv = 145 \\Tenv = 145/ 11\\Tenv = 13. 18$

The refrigerator was at around 13 ∘C

Which is f(5) for the function -2x2 + 2x - 3?

Schach [20]

The value of f(5) is -37

Solution:

Given function is:

$f(x) = -2x^2+2x+3$

We have to find the value of f(5)

To find the value of f(5), we have to substitute x is equal to 5 in given function

Plug in x = 5 in f(x)

$f(x) = -2x^2+2x+3\\\\f(5) = -2(5)^2+2(5) + 3\\\\\text{Simplify the above expression }\\\\f(5) = -2(25) + 10 + 3\\\\\text{Solve the above expression }\\\\f(5) = -50 + 10 + 3\\\\f(5) = -40 + 3 = -37$

Thus value of f(5) is -37

The figure à shown on ancient coin which was once used in china.the coin is in the shape of a circle of radius 3cm with a square

lianna [129]

Answer:

(1) 2π - x² = 0 (2) x = 2.5 cm (3) perimeter = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)The area of the circular coin without the inner square removed is πr² where r = 3 cm is the radius of the coin. So, the area of the coin without the inner square removed is πr² = π(3 cm)² = 9π cm²

The area of the square of x sides removed from its center is x².

The area A of the each face of the coin is thus A = 9π - x²

Since the area of each face of the coin A = 7π cm²,

then

7π = 9π - x²

9π - 7π - x² = 0

2π - x² = 0

(2) Solve the equation 2π - x² = 0

2π - x² = 0

x² = 2π

x = ±√(2π)

x = ± 2.51 cm

Since x cannot be negative, we take the positive answer.

So, x = 2.51 cm

≅ 2.5 cm

(3) Find the perimeter of the square

The perimeter of the square, p is given by p = 4x

p = 4 × 2.51 cm

= 10.04 cm

≅ 10 cm

45 =p x 60 NEED HELP ASAP

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

p = 3/4 or 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

your equation: 60p = 45

divide both sides by 60: p = 45/60

simply the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 15: p = 3/4

your answer: 3/4 or 0.75
