EARTH SCIENCE As dry air moves upward it expands, and in so doing it cools at a rate of about 5.5°F for each 1,000-foot rise up to about 40,000 feet. If the ground temperature is 70°F, then the temperature T at height h is given approximately by T = 70 − 0.0055h.

For what range in altitude will the temperature be between 26°F and −40°F, inclusive?
