Algebra.Com's Answer #98389 by vleith(2983)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: \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( " \n" ); document.write( " \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( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \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( " \n" ); document.write( " \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( " \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( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
