Question

A salt water solution is cooled to -3C. During an experiment , the mixture is heated so that its, temperature rises at steady rate. Write an equation to represent the temperature ,y, after x minutes

Answer 1

`y = -3+ rx`

Explanation:

Given

`Base = -3C`

`Time = x`

Required

Determine the equation (y)

Let the steady rate be represented with r.

So, the equation (y) can be determined using:

`y = Base + Rate * Time`

`y = -3+ r* x`

`y = -3+ rx`
