Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Basic Unit of Mass in the Metric System

The metric system uses the gram as the basic unit of mass, not the pound. The pound is a unit of mass in the imperial system.

Step 2: Evaluate the Statement

The statement claims that the basic unit of mass in the metric system is the pound. Since the correct unit is the gram, the statement is false.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{False}}\)

Graphs and Functions Finding, evaluating, and interpreting an inverse function for a given linea... 3,5 Tara Scientists have found a relationship between the temperature and the height above a distant planet's surface. T(h), given below, is the temperature in Celsius Español at a height of h kilometers above the planet's surface. The relationship is as follows. T(h) = 30.5 - 2.5h Complete the following statements. Let T^-1 be the inverse function of T. Take x to be an output of the function T. That is, x = T(h) and h = T^-1(x). (a) Which statement best describes T^-1(x) ? The temperature (in degrees Celsius) at a height of x kilometers. The ratio of the temperature (in degrees Celsius) to the number of kilometers, x. The reciprocal of the temperature (in degrees Celsius) at a height of x kilometers. The height above the surface (in kilometers) when the temperature is x degrees Celsius. (b) T^-1(x) = (x - 30.5) / 2.5 (c) T^-1(15) = 6.2

State whether the following rule defines y as a function of x or not. x 80 15 0 -1 0 15 80 y 9 4 1 0 -1 -4 -9 Is y a function of x? A. No, because at least one y-value of the given rule corresponds to more than one x-value. B. No, because at least one x-value of the given rule corresponds to more than one y-value. C. Yes, because each x-value of the given rule corresponds to exactly one y-value. D. Yes, because each y-value of the given rule corresponds to exactly one x-value.
