At 7:00 a. m., Alicia pours a cup of tea whose temperature is 200°F. The tea starts

to cool to room temperature (72°F). At 7:02 a. m. the temperature of the tea is

197°F. At 7:15 a. m. the temperature of the tea is 179°F. Alicia will drink the tea

when its temperature is 170°F. Use exponential regression to find a model for the

temperature of the tea. When can Ella drink the tea?

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the temperature variation with time given in an exponential equation as follows;

Let the temperature at time x (in minutes) = y

Therefore, y = a × mˣ + b

Where:

b = Shift of the curve or the limit value of the decreasing exponential function as x → ∞

When y = 200, x = 0

Therefore. 200 = a × m⁰ + c = a + c

We note that c is the shift of the graph, the value upon which temperature increases = final temperature = 72°F

Hence a = 200 - 72 = 128°F

When y = 197, x = 2 minutes

Therefore, 197 = 128·m² + 72 =

m² = (197 - 72)/128 = 125/128

m = √(125/128) = 0.98821

Hence the exponential equation of cooling is presented in the following equation;

y = 128 × (0.98821)ˣ + 72

Therefore, y = 128(0.989)x + 72

When the temperature is 172°F we have;

170 = 128 × (0.989)ˣ + 72

∴ (0.989)ˣ = (170 - 72)/128

= 98/128

= 0.7656

log(0.989)ˣ = log(0.7656)

x·log(0.989) = log(0.7656)

x = log(0.7656)/log(0.989)

= 24.15 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

answer: a video game has three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and expert. the game's scoring works in such a way that a player has to score a fixed number of points to advance to the next level, and then the scoring starts over. the total score needed to clear all three difficulty levels is 7,500. two times the number of points needed to clear the easy level is 500 more than the number of points needed to clear the medium level. twice the number of points needed to clear the medium difficulty level is 1,500 more than the number of points needed to clear the expert level. if x, y, and z represent the easy, medium, and expert levels, respectively, and a is the coefficient matrix of the system of equations modeling this situation, identify the inverse matrix, a-1, and the solution matrix, x, of the system of equations.
