Write several careful sentences that discuss, with appropriateunits, the values of F (30), F ′ (30), and F ′′ (30), and explain the overall behavior of thepotato’s temperature at this point in time.(d) Overall, is the potato’s temperature increasing at an increasing rate, increasing at a constantrate, or increasing at a decreasing rate? Why?⊳
