Given: \"T=5.8t%5E2%2B13t%2B32\"
\n" ); document.write( "a) What is the car's radiator's temperature at the instant the car is turned on? What is the time when the car is turned on? time = 0
\n" ); document.write( "So replace t with 0 in the function and solve
\n" ); document.write( "\"T=5.8%2A0%5E2%2B13%2A0%2B32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+32\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) What is the car's radiator's temperature after the car has been driven for 3 minutes?
\n" ); document.write( "What value should yo use for t now? t = 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"T=5.8%2A3%5E2%2B13%2A3%2B32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+5.8%2A9+%2B+13%2A3+%2B+32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+123.2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) How long after the car has begun operating will the car's radiator temperature reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit?
\n" ); document.write( "This time you are given a tempurature (T) and asked to find the time.
\n" ); document.write( "\"90=5.8t%5E2%2B13t%2B32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+5.8t%5E2+%2B+13t+-+58\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the quadratic equation to find values for t. Then pick the value that 'makes sense\"
\n" ); document.write( "0 = at^2 + bt + c, so a = 5.8, b = 13 and c = -58
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I get t = 2.24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer by replacing t with 2.23
\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+5.8%2A+2.24%5E2+%2B+13+%2A+2.24+%2B+32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+29.01+%2B+29.12+%2B+32+\" ~ 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
