Q. Antonio poured a cup of hot coffee and let it cool. The temperature of the coffee after xx minutes is given by the function f(x)f(x). The temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit.\newlineWhat does f(10)=120f(10) = 120 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)The temperature of the coffee is 120F120^\circ\text{F} after 1010 minutes.\newline(B)The temperature of the coffee is 10F10^\circ\text{F} after 120120 minutes.
  1. Interpret Function Value: We are given a function f(x)f(x) that represents the temperature of the coffee after xx minutes. The function value f(10)=120f(10) = 120 is provided, which means we need to interpret what this function value tells us about the temperature of the coffee at a specific time.
  2. Function Description: The function f(x)f(x) gives us the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit after xx minutes. The input to the function, xx, represents the number of minutes that have passed, and the output, f(x)f(x), represents the temperature of the coffee at that time.
  3. Given Temperature Interpretation: We are given f(10)=120f(10) = 120. Here, the input value is 1010, which corresponds to the time in minutes, and the output value is 120120, which corresponds to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. This tells us that after 1010 minutes, the temperature of the coffee is 120120 degrees Fahrenheit.
