The functions are illustrations of composite functions.
<em>The soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67</em>
The given parameters are:
---- the function for sun intensity
-- the function for temperature
At 2:00pm, the value of h (number of hours) is:
Substitute 8 for h in , to calculate the sun intensity
Substitute 8/9 for I in , to calculate the temperature of the soil
Approximate
Hence, the soil temperature at 2:00pm is 67
