The answer is False: Augustine never left Africa.

Explanation: Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the most influential theologians and philosophers in early Christianity, did indeed leave Africa during his lifetime. Born in 354 AD in Thagaste (modern-day Souk Ahras, Algeria), Augustine traveled extensively for his education and religious duties.

  1. Education in Carthage: Augustine left his hometown of Thagaste to study rhetoric in Carthage, which is also in North Africa but represents a significant move from his birthplace.

  2. Journey to Rome: In 383 AD, Augustine traveled to Rome, seeking better opportunities and to escape the unruly students in Carthage. This journey marks his first significant departure from Africa.

  3. Teaching in Milan: After his time in Rome, Augustine moved to Milan in 384 AD, where he continued his career as a teacher of rhetoric. It was in Milan that he encountered Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, who greatly influenced his conversion to Christianity.

  4. Return to Africa: After his conversion and baptism in 387 AD, Augustine returned to Africa in 388 AD, where he eventually became the Bishop of Hippo (modern-day Annaba, Algeria).

These travels demonstrate that Augustine did indeed leave Africa multiple times during his life, making the statement "Augustine never left Africa" false.

Graphs and Functions Finding, evaluating, and interpreting an inverse function for a given linea... 3,5 Tara Scientists have found a relationship between the temperature and the height above a distant planet's surface. T(h), given below, is the temperature in Celsius Español at a height of h kilometers above the planet's surface. The relationship is as follows. T(h) = 30.5 - 2.5h Complete the following statements. Let T^-1 be the inverse function of T. Take x to be an output of the function T. That is, x = T(h) and h = T^-1(x). (a) Which statement best describes T^-1(x) ? The temperature (in degrees Celsius) at a height of x kilometers. The ratio of the temperature (in degrees Celsius) to the number of kilometers, x. The reciprocal of the temperature (in degrees Celsius) at a height of x kilometers. The height above the surface (in kilometers) when the temperature is x degrees Celsius. (b) T^-1(x) = (x - 30.5) / 2.5 (c) T^-1(15) = 6.2
