a.

Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Given, initial temperature of the cup of water is and room temperature is
The ordered pairs are
Calculation:
Now, to plot the data points for and
First, subtract the room temperature from each ordered pair.
Therefore, the ordered pairs for are
So, the data points are obtained as below.
The blue dots represent, whereas the red dots represent
b.
To solve for and graph the model.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Exponential model for the data of is
So,
The graph is shown below:
It can be seen that the graph matches the original given data accurately.
c.
To solve for and graph the model.
c.

- 3. True False. If false create functions that prove it is false. Note: f(x) = g(x). a) If_lim ƒ(x) = ∞ and_lim g(x) = ∞,then_lim [ƒ(x) − g(x)] = 0 x→ 0+ x→0+ x→0+ b) If h(x) and g(x) are continuous at x = c, and if h(c) > 0 and g(c) = 0, then h(x) lim. will = x→c g(x) c) If lim f(x) = 0 and lim g(x) = 0 then lim f(x) does not exist. x-a x-a x→a g(x)arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward15. a) Consider f(x) = x-1 3x+2 and use the difference quotient to determine the simplified expression in terms of x, for the slope of any tangent to y = f(x). Also, determine the slope at x = 2. 15 b) Determine the equation of the tangent to f(x) at x = 2. Final answer in Standard Form Ax + By + C = 0, A ≥ 0, with no fractions or decimals.arrow_forward
