Answer to Problem 34E
The x -intercept shows that all the 90 students do not choose the meal plan and there is no student who chose the meal plan.
The y -intercept shows that there is no student who does not choose the meal plan and all 60 students do choose the meal plan.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The total cost for the class to go on the trip is modeled by the equation
The graph of this equation is:
The x -intercept is the point where the given graph intersects the x -axis.
And the y -intercept is the point where the given graph intersects the y -axis
Thus, the x -intercept is
Thus, the y -intercept is
Here, the x -intercept shows that all the 90 students do not choose the meal plan and there is no student who chose the meal plan.
The y -intercept shows that there is no student who does not choose the meal plan and all 60 students do choose the meal plan.
b.
To describe: the domain and range in context of the problem.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Given:
The total cost for the class to go on the trip is modeled by the equation
The graph of this equation is:
The variable for the given equation represents the number of students which is always a positive integer, so the domain of the given equation is discrete.
Here, the domain and range are dependent on each other as number of students can’t be a decimal number. So, the variables x and y which are positive integers and for which

Water in a water heater is originally Aa ← 122°F. The water heater is shut off and the water cools to the temperature of the surrounding air, which is 60°F. The water cools slowly because of the insulation inside the heater, and the value of k is measured as 0.00351. a. Write a function that models the temperature T (t) (in °F) of the water t hours after the water heater is shut off. b. What is the temperature of the water 12 hr after the heater is shut off?
