Question

1. let t(x) = 72 - 4x represent the temperature in degrees fahrenheit x hours after midnight. evaluate t(3) and interpret the result.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x=3 into T(x)

$T(3) = 72 - 4(3)$

Step2: Compute the result

$T(3) = 72 - 12 = 60$

Answer:

T(3) = 60. This means the temperature 3 hours after midnight is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
