To find the temperature at 9:00 AM, we need to determine the number of hours that have passed since midnight.

There are nine hours between midnight and 9:00 AM. However, the temperature does not rise at a constant rate throughout the entire nine-hour period. We know that the temperature rises 4 degrees Celsius per hour after midnight, so we can calculate the temperature at each hour:

12:00 AM - 9°C
1:00 AM - 9°C + 4°C = 13°C
2:00 AM - 13°C + 4°C = 17°C
3:00 AM - 17°C + 4°C = 21°C
4:00 AM - 21°C + 4°C = 25°C
5:00 AM - 25°C + 4°C = 29°C
6:00 AM - 29°C + 4°C = 33°C
7:00 AM - 33°C + 4°C = 37°C
8:00 AM - 37°C + 4°C = 41°C
9:00 AM - 41°C + 4°C = 45°C

Therefore, at 9:00 AM, the temperature would be 45°C, not 36°C.
