Question 769994: As part of a screening process, computer chips must be operated in an oven at 145 °C. Ten minutes after starting, the temperature is 55 °C. After 5 more minutes, the temperature is 70 °C.
If you started heating the oven at 10:00 a.m., what time would the oven reach its operating temperature? Remember to label the time as a.m. or p.m.

The ordered pair data points are as (time, temperature) and you have only information for two points being: (10, 55) and (15, 70). You cannot make a quadratic fit with just two data points. You have no information given on the initial temperature at time 0 minutes. If you had it, the situation MIGHT be able to allow a quadratic fit and then a prediction for the time to reach 145 C.

Give the missing information for this problem.
