Chen Hua was traveling to a certain place during the summer vacation. The tour guide asked everyone to bring an extra piece of clothing when going up the mountain. He also said that for every 100 meters of increase in altitude in the local mountainous area, the temperature dropped by 0.6 degrees Celsius.

Solution (1): y=34-(x/100)×0.6

Analysis: ∵For every 100 meters the temperature rises, the temperature drops 0.6 degrees

∴ Divide the ascending height

Solution (2): Substituting y=32.2 into y=34-(x/100)×0.6 we get:

32.2=34-(x/100)×0.6

34-32.2=x/100

x/100=1.8÷0.6

x=3×100

x=300

Answer: The estimated vertical height from the foot of the mountain to the top is 300 meters.
