Question

If ground turkey meat is kept at 35 degrees, it is estimated that it will stay good for about 20 days. On the other hand, if it is kept at 90 degrees constant temperature, it is estimated to have usefulness before the bacteria count becomes dangerously high. How long would you expect the meat to last if it were stored at 80 degrees? Explain. How long would you expect the meat to last if it were stored at 30 degrees? Explain. At what temperature would you expect it to last 5 days? Explain. Explain the relationship you have between the temperature and the length of time the meat stays good. From the information given, can you determine whether this relationship is linear or non-linear? Does it make sense for the relationship to be linear? Why or why not? a. b. c. d. to1 Thece ere the cah faree nsted on the

Explanation / Answer

Since there are just 2 points given, it better to have a linear equation fit.

let x be temperature and y be no. of days before it is useless

so points are (35,20) and (90,0.25)

slope = (20.0 - 0.25) / (35 - 90) = -0.3591

so y = 0.3591x + c

put (35,20) to find out c

y = -0.3591x + 32.5682

(a)

y = -0.3591x + 32.5682

at x = 80, y = 3.84 days

(b)

y = -0.3591x + 32.5682

at x = 30, y = 21.8 days

(c)

y = -0.3591x + 32.5682

for y = 5, x = 76.77

(d)

Relation has to be linear untill you have more than 2 points.
