Q. Janet 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 35°F35\degree F.\newline(B)At 3535 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 115°F115\degree 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) represents the temperature of the pie xx minutes after it was removed from the oven, measured in degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Interpret inequality f(35)<115f(35) < 115: Interpret the inequality f(35)<115f(35) < 115. The inequality tells us that the temperature of the pie 3535 minutes after it was removed from the oven is less than 115115 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Choose correct interpretation: Choose the correct interpretation based on the function and the inequality.\newlineWe have two choices:\newline(A) At 115115 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 35°F35\degree F.\newline(B) At 3535 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 115°F115\degree F.\newlineSince f(x)f(x) represents the temperature at xx minutes, and we have f(35)<115f(35) < 115, the correct interpretation is that at 3535 minutes, the temperature of the pie is less than 115°F115\degree F.
