Q. Temperature can be measured in two different common units: degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.f represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature c in degrees Celsius.f=32+1.8cWhat is the temperature increase in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to a temperature increase by 10 degrees Celsius?□ degrees Fahrenheit
Identify Celsius increase: We know that the increase in Celsius is 10 degrees, so let's call that Δc=10.
Plug into Fahrenheit formula: Now, we plug Δc into the formula for Fahrenheit: Δf=32+1.8×Δc. But wait, we don't need the 32 because we're looking for the increase, not the total temperature. So it's just Δf=1.8×Δc.
Calculate increase in Fahrenheit: Let's do the math: Δf=1.8×10.
Calculate increase in Fahrenheit: Let's do the math: Δf=1.8×10.So, Δf=18. That's the increase in Fahrenheit for a 10 degrees Celsius increase.
