Answer:

t(x) = 103 -0.0045x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let the equation:

t(x) = a + bx

be the linear equation that represent temperature at an elevation x.

Temperature at 6000-foot level = 76 f

76 = a + 6000b

Temperature at 12000-foot level = 49 f

49 = a + 12000b

Solving the two equation, we get,

76-49 = -6000b\\27=-6000b\\\\b = \dfrac{-27}{6000}\\\\b = -0.0045\\76 = a + (-0.0045)6000\\76 = a -27\\a = 76 + 27\\a  =103

Thus, we can write the linear equation as:

t(x) = 103 -0.0045x

Find 15 * 15 * 15 * 500 how does this compare to finding 45 x 500
andrew11 [14]
15 * 15 * 15 * 500 = 1,687,500. it's different from finding 45 * 500 because 
15 * 15* 15 * 500 is the same as writing it as 15^3 * 500. This meaning you multiply the number 15 by itself 3 times, not add it 3 times, which is what
45 * 500 was showing. I hope this helped.
