The temperature in a freezer is falling steadily at a rate of 2°F per minute. The function y = 25 - 2x gives the temperature y after x minutes. Which set of terms best describes the function y = 25 - 2x in this scenario?

discrete and linear

discrete and non-linear

continuous and linear

continuous and non-linear

continuous and linear if there is no limits set on the equasion

How did you get that?

anonymous · Answer

you all seem like good fellas, just check my integral im sure its fast to solve :P

anonymous · Answer

well in the scenario it would be discrete and linear,
1.)because the that is a linear equation
2.) it cant be continuous because it is not rational for it to get colder into infinity so it eventually would hit a point where it would not get colder any more

note- that is purely for the scenario, using math with logic. just the equasion would be a continuous and linear equasion
