- Ceramics When the temperature of a pot in a kiln is 1200, an artist turns off the heat and leaves the pot to cool at a controlled rate of 18 per hour. Express the temperature of the pot in degrees Celsius as a function of the time t in hours since the kiln was turned off.arrow_forwardExplain how to find the output variable in a wordp roblem that uses a linear function.arrow_forwardExplain how to find the input variable in a word problem that uses a linear function.arrow_forward
- An outpatient operating room charges each patient a fixed amount per surgery plus an amount per minute for use. One patient was charged 250 for a 30-minute surgery and another patient was charged 450 for a 90-minute surgery. Determine the linear function that would be used to compute the charges. Use the function to determine the charge when a patient has a 45-minute surgery.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between the input and the output of a function?arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS APPLY IT Splenic Artery Resistance Blood flow to the fetal spleen is of research interest because several diseases are associated with increased resistance in the splenic artery the artery that goes to the spleen. Researchers have found that the index of splenic artery resistance in the fetus can be described by the function y=0.057x0.001x2, where x is the number of weeks of gestation. Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. a. At how many weeks is the splenic artery resistance a maximum? b. What is the maximum splenic artery resistance? c. At how many weeks is the splenic artery resistance equal to 0, according to this formula? Is your answer reasonable for this function? Explain.arrow_forward
