Question

A metal bar is to act as a furniture support. It is heated with a torch and then laid on a workbench for bending. The temperature B, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the bar t minutes after heat is applied is given by

B = 70 + 500(0.96t − 0.34t).

(a) Make a graph of the temperature of the bar over the first 20 minutes.

(b) The bar is hot enough to bend as long as its temperature is at least 400 degrees. During what time period is the bar at the proper temperature for bending?
t
 ≤ 1.13 or t ≥ 10.18 or t ≥ 1.13 or t  t ≤ 10.18 or The temperature is never above 400 degrees. or 1.13 ≤ t ≤ 10.18


(c) What is the limiting value of B?
