Temperature Levels above Earth’s Surface On a particular day, the linear function

ƒ(x) = -3.52x + 58.6

approximates the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit above the surface of Earth, where x is in thousands of feet and ƒ(x) gives the temperature.

(a) When the height is 5000 feet, what is the temperature? Solve analytically.

(b) When the temperature is -15°F, what is the height? Solve analytically.

(c) Explain how the answers in parts (a) and (b) can be supported graphically.
