Question

Let f(t) represent the temperature of a turkey baking in an oven as a function of time [] in the oven (in minutes). This means time is the independent variable and temperature of the turkey t) is the dependent variable. The turkey was in the oven for 360 minutes and then removed. Note that when something is baked in an over, the temperature of the oven stays constant

1. Describe the rate of change pattern over each interval of the graph listed below.

a) 0
b) 345
c) t > 360

2. Explain what is happening in each interval of your graph in terms of the turkey and its temperature, using complete sentences

3. Let's say that the turkey sat on the counter for an additional hour (beyond the 390 minutes) and its temperature cooled to 80 degrees. Write that value in function notation

Answer 1

Since x (independent) is time and y (dependent) is temperature;

F(0) =50 means; at the beginning which is 0 minutes, the temperature is 50F

f(120)>f(60) means the temperature after 120 min is bigger than the temperate after 60 min.

f(360) = f(345) means the temperature after 360 min and 345 min are the same

f(390) < f(360) means the temperate after 390 min is less than the temperature after 360 min

Answer 2

Since x (independent) is time and y (dependent) is temperature;

F(0) =50 means; at the beginning which is 0 minutes, the temperature is 50F

f(120)>f(60) means the temperature after 120 min is bigger than the temperate after 60 min.

f(360) = f(345) means the temperature after 360 min and 345 min are the same

f(390) < f(360) means the temperate after 390 min is less than the temperature after 360 min
