In order to evaluate energy demand for heating services, the number of heating degree days are calculated. The number of heating degree days can be calculated by the formula H = 65 - T, where 65 is degrees Fahrenheit, and T is the average of the high and low temperatures for the day. If the high temperature for a day was 51°F and the low temperature for the same day was 45°F, what is the number of heating degree days? A. 17 B. 48 C. 113 D. 14

Given that,

The number of heating degree days can be calculated by the formula H = 65 - T, where 65 is degrees Fahrenheit, and T is the average of the high and low temperatures for the day.

Solution,

The high temperature was 51°F and the low temperature was 45°F.

Average of high and low temperatures for the day is given by :

Now using formula :

H = 65 - T

H = 65 - 48

H = 17

Hence, there are 17 heating degree days.

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is

any options?
