The temperature outside was 72 degrees at 6 am. The temperature rose 4 degrees per hour for the next 12 hours. The total temperature is a function of the number of hours the temperature rose. What was the temperature at noon?

(also write an equation)

72 + (6 * 4) = t

thank u

You're welcome.

5degree expected to drop4degree each hour for the next 3 hours what would be the temparture

To find the temperature at noon, we first determine the number of hours that have passed since 6 am, which is 6 hours.

Next, we calculate the increase in temperature over the 6-hour period. Given that the temperature rose 4 degrees per hour, we multiply the hourly increase by the number of hours: 4 degrees/hour * 6 hours = 24 degrees.

To find the total temperature at noon, we add the temperature at 6 am to the increase in temperature: 72 degrees + 24 degrees = 96 degrees.

Therefore, the temperature at noon is 96 degrees.

We can express this relationship between the number of hours the temperature rose and the total temperature as an equation. Let's use "t" to represent the number of hours:

Temperature(t) = 72 + 4t

In this equation, "t" represents the number of hours, and Temperature(t) represents the total temperature after t hours. So, to find the temperature at noon (6 hours later), we substitute "6" in for "t" to get:

Temperature(6) = 72 + 4 * 6 = 72 + 24 = 96 degrees.
