The answer is the first one (or A): bioengineering.

Explanation for each option: a. Bioengineering - Correct. Organic foods are not produced using bioengineering (genetic modification). This is a key criterion for organic certification. b. Greenhouses - Incorrect. Organic foods can be grown in greenhouses as long as the other organic standards are met. c. Carbon-containing compounds - Incorrect. Organic foods can contain carbon-containing compounds, as these are naturally occurring in all living organisms. d. Ultraviolet light - Incorrect. Ultraviolet light is not typically restricted in organic farming practices. e. Distilled water - Incorrect. The use of distilled water is not prohibited in organic farming.

Summary: Organic foods are produced without the use of most conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, ionizing radiation, or bioengineering.

The relationship between Celsius temperature, C, and Fahrenheit temperature, F, can be described by a linear equation in the form F=mC+b. The graph of this equation contains the point (100,212) : Water boils at 100°C or 212°F, The line also contains the point (0,32) : Water freezes at 0°C or 32°F. Write the linear equation expressing Fahrenheit temperature in terms of Celsius temperature. F ≈

Topic 8. Applications of Trigonometric Functions Solve the problem. An alternating current generator generates current with a frequency of 60 Hz. Suppose that initially, the current is at its maximum of 4 amperes. If the current varies in simple harmonic motion over time, write a model for the current I (in amperes) as a function of the time t (in seconds). Select one: a. I=2 cos (120 pi t)+2 b. I=4 cos (60 t) c. I=2 cos (60 t)+2 d. I=4 cos (120 pi t)
