Question

in a lab, the temperature of various chemical reactions is changing by a fixed number of degrees per minute. write a numeric expression that describes each of the following if all times are on the same day. complete parts (a) through (c) below

a. the temperature at 8:00 a.m is 4°c. if it increases by d degrees per minute, what will the temperature be m minutes later?

m minutes later, the temperature will be 4 + dm degrees. (simplify your answer)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify initial temperature

The initial temperature is 4°C.

Step2: Determine total increase

The temperature increases by d degrees per minute. In m minutes, the total increase is dm degrees.

Step3: Find final temperature

Add the initial temperature and the total increase. The expression is $4 + dm$.

Answer:

$4 + dm$
