Question 391840: During a manufacturing process, a metal part in a machine is exposed to varying temperature conditions. The manufacturer of the machine recommends that the temperature of the machine part remain below 135°F. The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit x minutes after the machine is put into operation is modeled by T=-0.005^2 + 0.45x + 125.

a. Tell whether the temperature of the part will ever reach or exceed 135°F. Use the discriminant of a quadratic equation to decide.

b. If the machine is in operation for 90 minutes before being turned off, how many times will the temperature of the part be 134°F?
