- Temperature An object at a temperature of 80C is placed in a room at 20C . The temperature of the object is given by T=20+60e0.06m where m represents the number of minutes after the object is placed in the room. How long does it take the object to reach a temperature of 70C ?arrow_forwardIn chemistry the volume for a certain gas is given by V=20T , where Vis measured in cc and T is temperature in °C. If the temperature varies between 80°C and 120°C, find the set of volume values.arrow_forwardCar depreciation A car purchased for 24,000 is expected to depreciate according to the formula f(x)=1920x+24,000,wheref(x) is the value of the car after x years.

- Flood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?arrow_forwardDepreciation A Ford Mustang purchased for 18,750 is expected to depreciate according to the formula f(x)=2200x+18,750, where f(x) is the value of the Mustang after x years. Find its value after 3 years.arrow_forwardNew Equation of Change? The tax liability T in dollars, for a company that has an initial tax liability of 6200 is dTdt=0.02T. Here, t is time in years.
