Answers:

  • a) The difference in temperature is 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • b) The temperature was rising fastest during interval 'a'

=========================================================

Explanations:

  • a) We subtract the y coordinates of the left and right endpoints. We get 65-40 = 25
  • b) The fastest rising temperature will visually correspond to the steepest part of the curve. That would be region 'a'. After this interval, region b is still increasing, but not as much as the previous interval (since it's not as steep here). Then it gets less steep for region c, and d sort of flattens out as well. So during the morning hours it appears the temperature is going up the fastest.
