The temperature of a mixture is decreasing by 5∘C every hour. When it was first mixed, its temperature was recorded at −20∘C. Which answer correctly represents the temperature of the mixture over time?

f(x)=−20x−5

That is incorrect.

f(x)=−5x−20

f(x)=−20x+5

f(x)=5x+20

f(x)=−15x

f(x)=−5x−20

Step-by-step explanation:

It's decreasing 5 degrees every hour, which is represented by -5x

You also have to take away the 20 (-20) from where it started.

So, f(x)=−5x−20

f(x) = -5x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = starting temperature + decreasing temperature * number of hours

      = -20 + (-5) * x

      = -20 - 5x

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2

a

step-by-step explanation:

strong negative correlation
