Question

question 7
explain the meaning of each statement in this situation.
w(5) > w(2)
the temperature when the stove was turned on was 72 degrees fahrenheit.
the temperature of the water was the same after 10 minutes and after 12 minutes.
the temperature after 15 minutes was higher than the temperature after 30 minutes.
the temperature after 5 minutes was warmer than the temperature after 2 minutes.

Explanation:

In function notation \(W(t)\), \(t\) represents time (in minutes) and \(W(t)\) represents the temperature at time \(t\). The inequality \(W(5)>W(2)\) means that when \(t = 5\) (5 minutes) the value of the function \(W\) (temperature) is greater than when \(t=2\) (2 minutes).

Answer:

The temperature after 5 minutes was warmer than the temperature after 2 minutes.
