The current temp in degrees Celsius where x equals the amount of hours after noon is 2x + 10. What is the initial value

Answer 1

To find the initial temperature in degrees Celsius, we need to evaluate the equation \( T(x) = 2x + 10 \) when \( x = 0 \), since \( x \) represents the number of hours after noon.

Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation:

\[ T(0) = 2(0) + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10 \]

Therefore, the initial temperature at noon (when \( x = 0 \)) is 10 degrees Celsius.
