The temperature in Fairbanks, Alaska begins at -2 F and gets 3 degrees warmer each hour.

Temperatures in Juneau, Alaska are modeled by the following graph

Which statement best describes the two situations?

Question 8 options:

Fairbanks has a greater rate of change and a greater initial value

Fairbanks has a smaller rate of change and a greater initial value

Fairbanks has a greater rate of change and a lower initial value

Fairbanks has a smaller rate of change and a lower initial value

3 answers

To analyze the two situations, let's break down the information provided:

  1. Fairbanks, Alaska:

    • Initial temperature: -2°F
    • Rate of change: 3°F warmer each hour
  2. Juneau, Alaska:

    • To effectively compare with Fairbanks, we would need the initial temperature and rate of change for Juneau from the graph you referenced. However, since the graph details are not provided in your message, we can't determine Juneau's rate of change or initial temperature directly.

Based on the information we have for Fairbanks:

  • The initial value of Fairbanks (-2°F) is indeed negative, which is lower than 0.
  • The rate of change is positive (3°F/hour).

To determine which statement describes both situations, we would need the numerical values for Juneau from the graph. If Juneau had a higher initial temperature (greater than -2°F) and a rate of change less than 3°F/hour, then it could support one of the statements regarding Fairbanks having a smaller rate of change and a lower initial value.

Without that specific information, it's challenging to accurately select an option.

For a hypothetical outcome:

  • If Juneau's initial temperature was, say, 10°F with a rate of 2°F/hour, we could conclude that:
    • Fairbanks has a greater rate of change (3°F vs. 2°F) and a lower initial value (-2°F vs. 10°F). This would lead to the statement: "Fairbanks has a greater rate of change and a lower initial value."

Based on the phrase "greater rate of change and a greater initial value," it's essential to note Fairbanks cannot have both; thus, one would need information about Juneau to clarify the choice.

Please provide the specific details from the graph regarding Juneau for a precise answer!

just give me the answer .

Without the specific details from the graph for Juneau, I can't provide a definitive answer. However, based on the information given for Fairbanks alone:

  • Fairbanks has a lower initial value (-2°F) and a greater rate of change (3°F/hour).

If Juneau has an initial value greater than -2°F and a rate of change less than 3°F/hour, the most logical conclusion would be:

Fairbanks has a greater rate of change and a lower initial value.
