Function f gives the temperature, in degrees Celsius, t hours after midnight. Choose the equation that represents the statement: “At 1:30 p. m., the temperature was 20 degrees Celsius.” Group of answer choices f (1:30) = 20 f (1.5) = 20 f (13:30) = 20 f (13.5) = 20

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f gives the temperature in degrees Celsius t hours after midnight.

Therefore, for the temperature at 12:00 AM (exactly midnight), we will have f(0).

For 1:00 AM, 1 hour after midnight, we will have f(1).

And for 12:00 PM (noon), we will have f(12).

We want to find the equation that represents the temperature at 1:30 PM.

1:30 PM is 13.5 hours after midnight or 1.5 hours after noon.

Therefore, the correct statement would be:

f(13.5)=20.

Hence, our answer is D.

Notes:

A and C are not correct because we do not use a colon for function notation. We input numerical values, not time.
