Aheated piece of metal cools according to the function c(x) = (.5)x ? 7, where x is measured in hours. a device is added that aids in cooling according to the function h(x) = ? x ? 2. what will be the temperature of the metal after two hours?

Simplify this expression.2(10) + 2(x – 4) a. 2x + 16 b. x + 12 c. 2x + 12 d. x + 16

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
