Question

in the following, write an expression in terms of the given variables that represents the indicated quantity. The temperature T hr ago if the present Temperature is 50°F and each hour it drops by 4°F.the expression for the temperature is ____ °F

Answer 1

T = 50 +4t

1) Let's write an equation for that based on that information.

The current temperature is 50º F and it drops by 4ºF per hour:

T = 50 + 4t

2) Hence, we can write this expression to find out this expression, since there is a constant decrease of the temperature per hour:

T = 50 +4t
