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 52°F and the low temperature for the same day was 45°F, what is the number of heating degree days?

The number of heating degree days is 16.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the average of the high () and low temperatures of the day (), measured in degrees Fahrenheit. If we know that and , then the average temperature (), measured in degrees Fahrenheit, is:

(1)

And the number of heating days is:

The number of heating degree days is 16.5.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
