    I had a few doubts on some questions on the regets today...

    1- Bob left his hot coffe on the kitchen table. Which graph shows the relation of temeprature and time on the coffe...

    Math regents questions Graphxk1

    The top or bottom one?

    2-Bob has to pick the number 2 cube out of 8 cubes labeled 1 to 8 from a hat.

    What is the chance of him picking the number 2 out of the 9 cubes twice in a row?

    1 i would say the second chart because once it hits room temp the speed of the cooling would decrease and i don't think it would hit 0 in under 6 min unless our friend is in Antarctica.

    BUt the second one doesnt reach 0 at all...it stops at 62 and goes straight

    so 62 would be the room temp, it would no longer be able to drop any more

    Room temperature is 32...not 62.

    Also I don't think they would mix scince facts with math...I made it go all the way to 0...

    you mean twice out of eight cubes right? I think it is (1/Cool times (1/Cool so 1/64.

    and I agree that the answer to number one is the bottom one...too bad Ahmed...was it a Math A regent?

    exactly, the function, at the top, only touches the vertical line once so it passes the vertical line test!

    you mean the perimeter of the shape?

    If so it's (11+13+13) + (1/2*2π r)
    the radius would be half of 11 ... since 11 is the diameter of the circle ... so your final answer should be:

    54.27

    Unless the question is about something totally different Very Happy

    Nope, that's what I did.

    Also FYI, there was no point in findig out the radius since "2r" is the same as "d"-which stands for diameter.
