Temperature Function Analysis: Graphing Hot Water Cooling Over Time

Question

Choose the graph that best describes the following:

Temperature of boiling water (Y) left to cool at room temperature as a function of time (X).

Step-by-Step Solution

The temperature of boiling water is roughly 100 degrees Celsius.

Room temperature is about 25 degrees.

Therefore, in the correct graph we will see a downward trend which will end above the X-axis (since the room is not frozen, the temperature will not reach 0).

The graph that describes this is graph C.

Answer
