answer the question correctly to continue:
a function represents the temperature throughout the day. it increases from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. and decreases after that. what happens at 1 p.m.?
the temperatur e reaches its maximum.
the temperatur e reaches its minimum.
the graph is undefined.
the function is constant.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the function's behavior

The function (temperature) increases from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then decreases. At the point where a function stops increasing and starts decreasing, it reaches its maximum value.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• "The temperature reaches its maximum": This aligns with the function's behavior (increasing then decreasing).
• "The temperature reaches its minimum": The function is increasing before 1 p.m., so it can't be a minimum.
• "The graph is undefined": There's no indication of the function being undefined at 1 p.m.
• "The function is constant": The function changes (increases then decreases), so it's not constant.

Answer:

The temperature reaches its maximum.
