Let f(t) represent the temperature of a turkey baking in an oven as a function of time (t) in the oven (in minutes). This means time (t) is the independent variable and temperature of the turkey f(t) is the dependent variable. The turkey was in the oven for 360 minutes and then removed. Note that when something is baked in an oven, the temperature of the oven stays constant. The graph of the function is shown below.
Explain the meaning of each statement in the context of the situation using everyday language. Remember that the input of the function (t) is the time in the oven and the output f(t) is the temperature of the turkey at that time.
