An electric washing machine draws 2.1 A when connected to a 121 V power line. In Arkansas, the average price of electricity is $0.090 per kilowatt-hour. To the nearest cent, how much does it cost to use the washing machine to wash one load of colors and one load of whites if the washing machine runs for 35 min each time it is used? Remember, round to two decimal places, the nearest cent.

In a simple electric circuit, Ohm's law states that V = IR, where V is the voltage in volts, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms. Assume that, as the battery wears out, the voltage decreases at 0.04 volts per second and, as the resistor heats up, the resistance is increasing at 0.02 ohms per second. When the resistance is 100 ohms and the current is 0.01 amperes, at what rate is the current changing? amperes per second
