Currently, the temperature of a bowl of ramen is 57°C above room temperature. The temperature of the ramen decreases based on the function f(t) = 57(0.89)t where t represents time elapsed in minutes. Where does the graph of f(t) cross the y-axis, and what does this represent in the context of the problem?
a
f(57) = 0; the time it takes for the above-room temperature to reach 0°C
b
f(0) = 57; the time it takes for the above-room temperature to reach 0°C
c
f(57) = 0; the above-room temperature of the ramen at time t = 0
d
f(0) = 57; the above-room temperature of the ramen at time t = 0
