Initial temperature of the liquid = 0 degrees.

Rate of changes of liquid temperature = -0.2 per minute.

Rate of change also represents slope of a linear function.

We know, slope-intercept form of a linear equation

y=mx+b, where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is y-intercept(initial temprature).

With respect to given problem, y represents temperature of a liquid after x number of minutes.

According to given problem, slope(rate of change) = -0.2 per minute and y-intercept(initial temprature)=0.

Plugging values of m and b in the above slope-intercept form of a linear equation.We get,

y=-0.2x+0

or y=-0.2x.

Final temprature is given -14.6 degrees and we need to find time when temprature reach -14.6 degrees.

As y represents temperature of a liquid , we need to plug y=-14.6 in above equation.

We get,

-14.6=-0.2x.

Dividing both sides by -0.2.

-14.6/-0.2=-0.2x/-0.2

x=73.

We got 73 minutes.

73 minutes can be convert in hours.

We have 60 minutes in an hour.

Therefore, 73 = 60+13.

So, 1 hour and 13 minutes will it for the liquid to reach -14.6 degrees.

In minutes answer is 73 minutes.

Softa [21]

Answer:

$4956.23 approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P= $4860

R= 4%

T= 6 months = 0.5 years

Applying the compound interest formula we have

A=P(1+r)^t

Substitute

A=4860(1+0.04)^0.5

A= 4860(1.04)^0.5

A=4860*1.0198

A=4956.228

Hence the balance will be $4956.23 approx
