Gianna used two refrigerators, each set to a different temperature, to cool two cups of hot liquid.
She placed the first cup in refrigerator A. The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the liquid in this cup, after x minutes in the refrigerator, is represented by the graphed function.
She placed the second cup in refrigerator B. The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the liquid in this cup is represented by an exponential function that has a y-intercept of 96 and approaches 38 as x increases.
When Gianna initially placed two cups in the refrigerators, the liquid placed in refrigerator A was ____ than the liquid placed in refrigerator B. The ____ of the two functions implies that refrigerator A is set to a ____temperature than refrigerator B.
1a. Cooler
1b. Warmer
2a. Y-intercepts
2b. End behavior
3a. Lower
3b. Higher
