Answer 6

: (n) function, mathematical function, single-valued function, map, mapping ((mathematics) a mathematical relation such that each element of a given set (the domain of the function) is associated with an element of another set (the range of the function))

Answer 7

It is a lousy question, but they want you to think like this:
The longer coffee sits on a desk (this is time)
the cooler it becomes. (this is temperature)

if you know the time, you can figure out the temperature

temperature = function of time (put time into a magic formula to get temperature)

Answer 8

The reason it is a lousy question is I can imagine going the other way, give me temperature and I'll tell you how long it was sitting....

but as written, they are saying "time --> (maps to) temperature"

Answer 9

MATHEMATICALLY TRUE.
The premise asserts a connection between (longer) times and (lower) tempertures.
