The temperature at dawn one morning was –6 °C. It increased at a constant rate of 2 °C per hour after that. Which equation describes t, the time in hours since dawn, in terms of C, the temperature in degrees Celsius?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first write the data you have in an equation form:

. When t = 0, at dawn, you get -6°C so we're good. But you've ben asked the inverse relationship, so let's solve for t instead.

Last two are both viable solution, only difference is in form. I do prefer the last option since it makes it easiest at a glance to answer to the question "at what time there's a temperature of 0°C?"

i think the answer is true

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.
