Question
the expression for degrees fahrenheit is $\frac{9}{5}c + 32$, where c represents degrees celsius. the temperature today is 5 degrees celsius more than yesterday. write and simplify an expression for the difference in degrees fahrenheit for these two days. an expression is
the difference is °f
Step1: Let yesterday's Celsius temperature be $C$.
Today's Celsius temperature is $C + 5$.
Step2: Calculate yesterday's Fahrenheit temperature.
Yesterday's Fahrenheit temperature $F_y=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$.
Step3: Calculate today's Fahrenheit temperature.
Today's Fahrenheit temperature $F_t=\frac{9}{5}(C + 5)+32=\frac{9}{5}C+9 + 32=\frac{9}{5}C+41$.
Step4: Find the difference in Fahrenheit temperatures.
The difference $\Delta F=F_t - F_y=(\frac{9}{5}C + 41)-(\frac{9}{5}C + 32)$.
Step5: Simplify the expression.
$\Delta F=\frac{9}{5}C+41-\frac{9}{5}C - 32=9$.
