- How do you find the value of a function?arrow_forwardCeramics 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_forwardAn 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_forward
