Average temperatures suppose the temperature (degrees f) in a river at a point x meters downstream from a factory that is discharging hot water into the river is given by
t(x) = 160-0.05x^2
find the average temperature over each interval.
a. [0, 10]
b. [10, 40]
c. [0, 40]

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Temperatures Suppose the temperature (degrees F) in a river at a point x meters downstream from a factory that is discharging hot water into the river is given by

T(x) = 160-0.05x^2

a. [0, 10]

For x = 0

T(0) = 160 - 0.05 × 0^2

T(0) = 160

For x = 10

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 10^2

T(10) = 160 - 5 = 155

The average temperature

= (160 + 155)/2 = 157.5

b. [10, 40]

For x = 10

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 10^2

T(10) = 160 - 5 = 155

For x = 40

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 40^2

T(10) = 160 - 80 = 80

The average temperature

= (80 + 155)/2 = 117.5

c. [0, 40]

For x = 0

T(0) = 160 - 0.05 × 0^2

T(0) = 160

For x = 40

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 40^2

T(10) = 160 - 80 = 80

The average temperature

= (160 + 80)/2 = 120

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
