Jane wishes to bake an apple pie for dessert. The baking instructions say that she should bake the pie in an oven at a constant

temperature of 230◦C. Being a mathematician, she knows that the temperature T of the pie after t minutes of baking will be given by T(t) = 230 − Ae−kt , where A and k are constants. After 18 minutes of baking she notices that the temperature of the pie is 138◦C, while after 36 minutes it is 184◦C. Determine the constants A and k.

Answer:

Therefore k= \frac{ln2 }{18}, A=184

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is

T(t)=230 -e^{-kt}

where T(t) is the temperature in °C and t is time in minute and A and k are constants.

She noticed that after 18 minutes the temperature of the pie is 138°C

Putting T(t) =138°C and t= 18 minutes

138=230 -Ae^{-k\times 18}

\Rightarrow  -Ae^{-18k}=138-230

\Rightarrow  Ae^{-18k}=92 .....(1)

Again after 36 minutes it is 184°C

Putting T(t) =184°C and t= 36 minutes

184=230-Ae^{-k\times 36}

\Rightarrow Ae^{-36k}=230-184

\Rightarrow Ae^{-36k}=46.......(2)

Dividing (2) by (1)

\frac{Ae^{-36k}}{Ae^{-18k}}=\frac{46}{92}

\Rightarrow e^{-18k}=\frac{46}{92}

Taking ln both sides

ln e^{-18k}=ln\frac{46}{92}

\Rightarrow -18k =ln (\frac12)

\Rightarrow -18k= ln1-ln2

\Rightarrow k= \frac{ln2 }{18}

Putting the value k in equation (1)

Ae^{-18\frac{ln2}{18}}=92

\Rightarrow A e^{ln2^{-1}}=92

\Rightarrow A.2^{-1}=92

\Rightarrow \frac{A}{2}=92

\Rightarrow A= 92 \times 2

⇒A= 184.

Therefore k= \frac{ln2 }{18}, A=184

Find x in the given figure if m∠AOC = 124°.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

A) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Add angles AOB and BOC to get angle AOC.

Since we know the value of AOC is 124 and AOB+BOC=AO

Then (8x+25)+(6x-13)=124.

Combine like terms to get 14x+12= 124.

Solve for x by subtracting 12 from 124, then divide the answer by 14.

A supermarket soup can display consists of 5 levels of
serg [7]

A supermarket shop cans display consists of 5 levels of  stacked cans. In the display, each level has  4 more cans than the level above it-the total number of cans in display are (b) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ,

The display consists of 5 levels of  stacked cans- <u>which means that there are 5 levels in which the stacked cans are displayed .</u>

so,the no:of levels are 5

Now given that level has  4 more cans than the level above it.

so. the number of cans in a single level = 5*4=20

Now we know that the total number of level is 5  so we multiply 20 withe the number of levels of can stacked

==>20*5=100

<u>Thus we can say that the total number of cans in display are (b) 100</u>

You have a coupon for a local craft store that is for 40% off one item. You would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a ba
Yanka [14]

Answer:

$26.06

Step-by-step explanation:

You would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a basket for $25.99. The highest-priced item is a basket for $25.99. So, the coupon will take the discount off for this item.

The new price of the basket is

\$25.99\cdot (1-0.4)=\$25.99\cdot 0.6=\$15.594

The total cost of your buying  is

\$8.99+\$15.594=\$25.584

There will be a 6% sales tax added to the price of all items. So, the end cost is

\$25.584\cdot (1+0.06)=\$25.584\cdot 1.06=\$26.05904\approx \$26.06
