A temperature of t degrees Fahrenheit, sound travels s feet per second, where s= 21.9 square root 5t + 2457. During blasting for avalanche control in the mountains, sound traveled at a rate of 1117ft/sec. What was the temperature?

1117=21.9 square root 5t + 2457.

21.9 square root 5t=1117-2457

=-1340.

square root 5t =-1340/21.9=-61.18.

5t=3743.87.

t=748.77 Deg F.
