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.

Find the circumference and the area of the circle with a diameter of 15ft​
guapka [62]

Answer:

Circumference is pi times diameter so that would equal 15 pi. The formula to find the area of a circle is A=pi * r^2 So you divide 15 by 2 to find the radius. r=7.5 Then you square it and multiply it by pi and get 56.25pi which is about equal to 176.715

Solve for
faust18 [17]

Given equation : n(17+x)=34x−r.

We need to solve it for x.

Distributing n over (17+x) on left side, we get

17n + nx  = 34x - r.

Adding r on both sides, we get

17n+r + nx  = 34x - r+r.

17n + r + nx = 34x.

Subtracting nx from both sides, we get

17n + r + nx-nx = 34x-nx

17n + r = 34x -nx.

Factoring out gcf x on right side, we get

17x + r = x(34-n).

Dividing both sides by (34-n), we get

\frac{(17x + r)}{(34-n)} = \frac{x(34-n)}{(34-n)}

\frac{(17x + r)}{(34-n)} = x

<h3>Therefore, final answer is x=\frac{(17x + r)}{(34-n)}.</h3>

Alex

Answer:

33.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

if he begins at 136 feet and wants to go to 42 feet, the distance is 94 feet

d = 94

r = 2.8

d = rt; solving this formula for 't':

t = d/r

t = 94/2.8

t = 33.6 seconds

Determine the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line, through the given point
bixtya [17]

The equation of the line that is parallel to the given line, through the given point is y = -5x - 7

Given equation,

y = -5x + 1

Slope = m

          = -5

For two lines to be parallel, slope is equal.

Therefore, m = -5 for another line.

Let the equation of the line be y = mx + c

This line passes through A(-2,3)

Therefore, 3 = -5(-2) + c

                  3 = 10 + c

                  c = 3 - 10

                     = -7

Hence, equation of line is y = -5x - 7.

What is the mystery number? It is less then 40. You say its name when you start at 3 and count by 3s.You say its name when you s
wariber [46]

Answer:

The number must be 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mystery number is less then 40.

You say its name when you start at 3 and count by 3s. This means that it is a multiple of 3.

You say its name when you start at 5 and count by 5s. This means that it is a multiple of 5.

The only two numbers that are multiples of 3 and 5 and less than 40 are 15 and 30.

Since we have been told that the number is not 15, the number must be 30.
