Question
In 2013, the average surface temperature of the earth was 58 (degrees Fahrenheit) and, according to one study, increasing at the rate of 0.0154t0.4 degrees per year, where t is the
number of years since 2013.1 Find a formula for the temperature at any time t. [Note: Such global warming is expected to raise sea levels and cause widespread coastal flooding.]
T(t) = 0.015404x + C
Use your formula to predict the temperature in 2103. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
