Linear Functions :Examples
Example:
As dry air moves upward, it expands and cools. If the ground
temperature is and the temperature at a height of 1 km is ,
express the temperature (in ) as a function of the height (in
kilometers), assuming that a linear model is appropriate. Draw
the graph of the function . What is the temperature at a height
of 2.5 km?
