The temperature, t in Burrtown starts at 32°F at midnight, when h= 0. For the next few hours, the temperature drops 2 degrees every hour.

Question

Which equation represents the temperature, t at hour f?
O A. 1=-327+2
〇 B.1=320-2
© C. 1=-21+32
• D. 1= 2h+ 32

Answer 1

To represent the temperature \( t \) at hour \( h \) in Burrtown, we note that the temperature starts at 32°F at midnight (when \( h = 0 \)) and drops by 2 degrees every hour.

This means that the temperature decreases with time, and we can write the equation as follows:

\[ t = 32 - 2h \]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. \( t = -2h + 32 \)
