Question

complete the statement that describes the situation.
elapsed time (minutes)
temperature (°f)
the oven is

before sanjay turns it on. the oven’s temperature increases by

while the oven is heating.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify initial temperature

At \( x = 0 \) (before turning on), the temperature is \( 70^\circ\text{F} \).

Step2: Calculate rate of increase

Take two points, e.g., \( (0, 70) \) and \( (1, 105) \). The change in temperature \( \Delta T = 105 - 70 = 35 \), change in time \( \Delta t = 1 - 0 = 1 \). So rate is \( \frac{35}{1} = 35^\circ\text{F per minute} \).

Answer:

The oven is \( 70^\circ\text{F} \) before Sanjay turns it on. The oven’s temperature increases by \( 35^\circ\text{F} \) per minute while the oven is heating.
