You place a cup of 200 degrees F coffee on a table in a room that is 67 degrees F, and 10 minutes later, it is 195 degrees F. Ap

proximately how long will it be before the coffee is 180 degrees F? Use Newton's law of cooling: T(t)=T[a]+(T[o]-T[a])e^-kt A. 40 minutes B. 15 minutes C. 1 hour D. 35 minutes

195=67+(200-67)e^(-10k)

195=67+133e^(-10k)

128=133e^(-10k)

128/133=e^(-10k)

ln(128/133)=-10k

k=-ln(128/133)/10

T(t)=67+133e^(tln(128/133)/10), if T(t)=180

180=67+133e^(tln(128/133)/10)

113=133e^(tln(128/133)/10)

113/133=e^(tln(128/133)/10)

ln(113/133)=tln(128/133)/10

10ln(113/133)=tln(128/133)

t=10ln(113/133)/ln(128/133)

t≈42.5 minutes...

t≈40 minutes (to nearest 5 minutes? :P)

A circle is shown. Secants E G and D G intersect at point G outside of the circle. Secant E G intersects the circle at point F a

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we need here is

$6(6+x)=5(5+x+3)$

which simplifies to

$6(6+x)=5(8+x)$

which simplifies to

36 + 6x = 40 + 5x and

x = 4

So DG = 5 + 4 + 3 which is 12

A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to d

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$b_2 = -2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21$

Required

Determine the value of T

$\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * \frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21 * 2$

$(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 42$

Divide through by 6

$4.5 + b_2 = 42/6``$

$4.5 + b_2 = 7$

$b_2 = 7 - 4.5$

$b_2 = -2.5$

Solve the equation or inequality 3/2t-16=4/3t-6

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<em>t=60</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2t-16=4/3t-6

(subtract 4/3t from both sides)

3/2t-16-4/3t=-6

(add 16 to both sides)

3/2t-4/3t=-6+16

(simplify)

1/6t=10

(divide by 1/6 (or multiply by 6 on both sides)

t=60

What is the value of x if g^x-1-2= 25?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Third option: $x=\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The correct exercise is attached.</h3>

The equation given is:

$9^{x-1}-2=25$

The steps to find the value of "x" are shown below:

1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

$9^{x-1}-2+2=25+2\\\\9^{x-1}=27$

2. Descompose 9 and 27 into their prime factors:

$9=3*3=3^2\\27=3*3*3=3^3$

3. Substitute them into the equation:

$3^{2(x-1)}=3^3$

4. Knowing that If $a^n=b^m$ , then $n=m$ , we get:

$2(x-1)=3$

5. Apply Distributive property:

$2x-2=3$

6. Add 2 to both sides:

$2x-2+2=3+2\\\\2x=5$

7. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\x=\frac{5}{2}$
