The initial value refers to the temperature at the starting point, which in this case is noon. Since x represents the number of hours after noon, the equation would give us the temperature after x hours. Therefore, the initial value is the temperature at x = 0.
Plugging in x = 0 into the equation 2x + 10, we get:
2(0) + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10.
So, the initial value is 10°C.
Therefore, the correct answer is O 10°C.
Plugging in x = 0 into the equation 2x + 10, we get:
2(0) + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10.
So, the initial value is 10°C.
Therefore, the correct answer is O 10°C.
