Question

Zack puts a mug of water into his microwave oven. He knows that the final temperature of the water will be a function of the number of seconds he heats the water. Zack names this function TEMPERATURE(SECONDS), and he abbreviates the name T(s).

True or False

Answer 1

True because that's the statement factor . There fore it's true

Answer 2

Zack is TRUE.

Explanation:

Zack was correct with his abbreviation.

Since the temperature of the water will increase as the time it is kept in the oven increases.i.e. the temperature depends upon the time.

This means that temperature will act as a dependent variable and it depends on the variable time which will be a independent variable.

So if T denotes temperature .

and s denotes the time in seconds.

Hence, we will express the temperature as: T(s)
