Question

The table below represents atmospheric temperature at a location as a function of the altitude: The average rate of change of the function x = 15 to x = 25 is ___ degree Celsius per thousand feet and represent the rate of change of temperature per thousand feet.
Please answer the blank. Correct answer is the brainliest!!!!

Answer 1

The correct answer is -2

(-16 - 4) / ( 25 - 15 ) = -2

Answer 2

Average rate of change in degree Celsius per thousand feet is -2 °C

Given that;

Average temperature when value of Altitude x is 15 = 4°C

Average temperature when value of Altitude x is 25 = -16°C

Find:

Average rate of change in degree Celsius per thousand feet

Computation:

• Average rate of change in degree Celsius per thousand feet = Change in temperature / Change in height

• Average rate of change in degree Celsius per thousand feet = [- 16 - 4] / [25 - 15]
• Average rate of change in degree Celsius per thousand feet = -20/10
• Average rate of change in degree Celsius per thousand feet = -2
