Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.
A weather station on the top of a mountain reports that the temperature is currently 0°C and has been falling at a constant rate of 3°C per hour. Find each temperature. Explain or show your reasoning.
If it continues to fall at this rate, what will the temperature be:
In 2 hours ............. In 5 hours .............. In half an hour......................
If the current temperature of the mountain is b°C and it is falling at a constant rate of 3°C per hour.
Then after 'x' hours, temperature on the top of the mountain will be represented by the function,
T(x) = 0 - 3x
Therefore, temperature after 2 hours = -3(2) = -6°C
Temperature after 5 hours = -3(5) = -15°C
Temperature after half an hour = [tex]-3(\frac{1}{2})[/tex]
= -1.5°C
