Answer:

$D(t)=100(0.4)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

The temp is 100 at time t = 0

After 1 sec, the temp difference would be:

$100-(\frac{100-60}{100})$

After 2 sec, the temp difference would be:

$100-(\frac{100-60}{100})^2$

Similarly for 3 seconds, 4 seconds etc.

We notice that the parenthesis part is 40% of it, so we can also write:

100(40%)^t,

where

t is the time

40% can be written as 40/100 = 0.4

SO, the function is:

$d(t)=100(0.4)^t$

Answer:

$D(t)=100*0.4^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the difference between the rod's and the water's temperatures is 100°

i.e D(t)=100 When t=0

After 1 seconds, the temp drops by 60%.

Therefore, the new value of D will be the old value multiplied by (100-60)%.

D(1)=100 X (100%-60%) = 100*0.4

After 2 seconds, the temp difference would be:

D(2)=100*0.4*0.4= $100*0.4^2$

We notice that for any t, the percentage at which the difference is reduced is raised to the power of t.

Therefore, temperature difference in degrees Celsius, D(t), t seconds after the rod was plunged into the water is given as:

$D(t)=100*0.4^t$

What is the frequency of the function y = cos5x?

Tju [1.3M]

The given formula is a sinusoidal equation. Sinusoidal equations are trigonometric functions involving sine and cosine functions. Graphically, they look like wave patterns having amplitudes and periods. The general form of a sinusoidal equation is

y = A cos(Bx + C) + D

where

A = amplitude
B = frequency
C = shift on starting angle
D = shift of wave on the y-axis

Thus, can pattern out that A=1, B=5, C=0 and D=0 in the given equation. The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) or 1/second. Hence, the frequency of the function is 5 Hz.

Find the ratio of a:b, if 2a-b/6=b/3

Katen [24]

Answer:

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the ratio is:

a:b = 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$2a-\frac{b}{6}=\frac{b}{3}$

$\mathrm{Add\:}\frac{b}{6}\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$2a=\frac{b}{2}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{\frac{b}{2}}{2}$

$a=\frac{b}{4}$

Divide both sides by b

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the ratio is:

a:b = 1:4
