As a parcel of air rises (for example, as it is pushed over a mountain), it cools

Question:

As a parcel of air rises (for example, as it is pushed over a mountain), it cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of 5.5°F per 1000 feet until it reaches its dew point. If the ground temperature is 67°F, write a formula for the sequence of temperatures, {Tn}, of a parcel of air that has risen n thousand feet. What is the temperature of a parcel of air if it has risen 5000 feet?
