Question

To cook a steak to medium-rare, it needs to have an internal temperature of 1 3 5 ∘ 135 ∘ 135, degree Fahrenheit. A lower internal temperature will undercook the steak. Write an inequality that is true only for temperatures ( t ) (t)left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis at which a steak will be undercooked.

Answer 1

The inequality for steaks that are under cooked is: T < 135

In this case, we want all of the number that are below 135. Therefore, we will use a less than sign. And it needs to be under 135, so we will not include an equal to line with our less than symbol.

Answer 2

`t<135^(o) \text{ Fahrenheit}`

Step by step explanation:

We have been given that to cook a steak to medium-rare, it needs to have an internal temperature of 135 degree Fahrenheit.

Let t be the temperature to cook a steak.

We are told that a lower internal temperature than 135 degree Fahrenheit will under-cook the steak so steak cooked at temperature less than 135 degree will be under-cooked. We will not include 135 degrees as steaks are under-cooked at temperature less than 135 degrees.

Now let us write our inequality representing temperatures at which a steak will be under-cooked.

`t<135^(o) \text{ Fahrenheit}`

Therefore, inequality representing temperatures for under-cooked steaks will be
`t<135^(o) \text{ Fahrenheit}`.
