Given the temperature of a refrigerator when it is first plugged in can be modeled by the function y = - 4x + 70
Get the required rate
where
- y represents the degrees Fahrenheit inside the fridge and;
- x represents the number of hours since it was first plugged in
The rate of change of temperature of the fridge is expressed as:
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =-4 +0\\\frac{dy}{dx} =-4[/tex]
