The outdoor temperature was 8 degrees at midnight. the tempature declined 5 degrees during each of the of the next 3 hours. what was the temperature at 3 am

degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x represent number of hours.

We have been given that the outdoor temperature declined 5 degrees during each of the of the next 3 hours. So temperature decline in each hour would be .

The outdoor temperature at midnight was 8 degrees. The temperature x hours after midnight would be .

To find the temperature at 3 am, we will substitute in the expression as:

Therefore, the outdoor temperature was degrees at 3 am.

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).
