A hot metal bar is submerged in a large reservoir of water whose temperature is 60°F. The temperature of the bar 20 s after submersion is 120°F. After 1 min submerged, the temperature has cooled to 100°F. (Let y be measured in degrees Fahrenheit, and t be measured in seconds.) (a) Determine the cooling constant k. k = s−1 (b) What is the differential equation satisfied by the temperature y(t)? (Use y for y(t).) y'(t) = (c) What is the formula for y(t)? y(t) = (d) Determine the temperature of the bar at the moment it is submerged. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 104 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 105 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.

In which form is the following function written? y = - 2(x – 3)(x + 5)

What value is a discontinuity of x squared plus 8 x plus 4, all over x squared minus x minus 6?
