Question

n a science experiment, the initial temperature was 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and each hour after, the temperature dropped by 4 degrees. Which expression represents the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, after t hours?

Answer 1

The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, after t hours can be represented by the expression: 55 - 4t.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, after t hours can be represented by the expression:

55 - 4t

Let's break down the expression:

The initial temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit, so we start with 55.

Each hour, the temperature drops by 4 degrees, so we subtract 4 times t.

For example, if t = 3 hours, the expression would be:

55 - 4(3) = 55 - 12 = 43 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 2

f(t) = 55 = 4t
