Question 207004This question is from textbook Algebra and Trigonometry with analytic Geometry
: Below the cloud base, the air temperature T (in F) at height h (in feet) can be approximated by the equation T= T 0- (5.5/1000) h, where T o is the temperature at ground level.
At what altitude is the temperature freezing? This question is from textbook Algebra and Trigonometry with analytic Geometry

Below the cloud base, the air temperature T (in F) at height h (in feet) can be approximated by the equation T(h)= T(o)- (5.5/1000)h , where T(o) is the temperature at ground level.
At what altitude is the temperature freezing?
-------------------------------------------------
T(o)-(5.5/1000)h = 32 degrees
----
h = (T(o)-32)/(5.5/1000)
--------------------------------
Hmmmm? I'm not sure that makes any sense.
