The ground temperature at an airport is 10 °C. The temperature decreases by 6 °C for every increase of 1 kilometer above the ground. What is the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of kilometers.

We have been given that the temperature decreases by 6.8 degrees Celsius for every increase of 1 kilometer above the ground. So temperature decreased in x hours would be .

The ground temperature at Brigham Airport is 12 degrees Celsius. The temperature at an altitude of x kilometers would be .

To find temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers, we will substitute  in our expression as:

Therefore, the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers would be  degrees Celsius.

I hope this helps, this is close I hope!
