Q. Kendra just took a strawberry-rhubarb pie out of the oven. The temperature of the pie xx minutes after it was removed from the oven is given by the function f(x)f(x). The temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit.\newlineWhat does f(35)<115f(35) < 115 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)At 115115 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 3535°F.\newline(B)At 3535 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 115115°F.
  1. Understand function f(x)f(x): Understand the function f(x)f(x) and what it represents.\newlineThe function f(x)f(x) gives us the temperature of the pie in degrees Fahrenheit xx minutes after it was removed from the oven. We need to interpret what f(35) < 115 means in this context.
  2. Interpret f(35) < 115: Interpret the meaning of f(35) < 115.\newlineSince f(x)f(x) represents the temperature of the pie after xx minutes, f(35)f(35) represents the temperature of the pie 3535 minutes after it was removed from the oven. The inequality f(35) < 115 tells us that this temperature is less than 115115 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Choose correct interpretation: Choose the correct interpretation from the given choices.\newlineBased on our understanding, the correct interpretation of f(35) < 115 is that at 3535 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 115115°F. Therefore, the correct choice is (B).
