Question

When Kimchi is made, it is initially fermented for the first 3 days at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and then immediately moved to a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit for another 3 days after which it is put in a 35 degree refrigerator for 6 days. Write a step function that would model this situation, then graph.
Help please. I have to get my grade up by tomorrow. Please......

Answer 1

The given temperatures of 70 °F, 50 °F, and 35 °F, at the given 3, 3, and

6 days give the following step function;

$\begin{cases}f(x) = 70^{\circ } & \text{ if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\f(x) = 50^{\circ} & \text{ if } 3 < x \leq 6 \\ f(x) = 35^{\circ }& \text{ if } 6 < x \leq 12 \end{cases}$

• Please find attached the graph of the step function?

How can the step function be written?

The temperature at it is fermented in the first three days = 70 °F

From day 3 to 6 the temperature = 50 °F

From day 6 to day 12, the temperature at which it is kept in the freezer = 35 °F

The step function is therefore;

$\begin{cases}f(x) = 70^{\circ } & \text{ if } 0 \leq x \leq 3 \\f(x) = 50^{\circ} & \text{ if } 3 < x \leq 6 \\ f(x) = 35^{\circ }& \text{ if } 6 < x \leq 12 \end{cases}$

The graph of the above function created with MS Excel is attached
