Question 1110353: In the mid-nineteenth century, explorers used the boiling point of water to estimate altitude. The boiling temperature of water T (in �F) can be approximated by the model where a is the altitude in thousands of feet. Determine the temperature at which water boils at an altitude of 9,000 ft. Round to the nearest degree.
