Question

When the Celsius temperature is 35 degrees, the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature is 95 degrees. When the Celsius temperature is 90 degrees, the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature is 194 degrees. Let C represent the Celsius temperature and F the Fahrenheit temperature.

 

a. Express F as an exact linear function of C

b. Solve the equation in part "a" for C, thus expressing C as a function of F.

c. For what temperature is F=C?

Answer 1

Hello Michelle M. This is one Simple formula that will work BOTH conversions, try to memorize it.

Just substitute for what you know. Please note that you will see different

Formulas for this same conversion.

F = 1.8 (C) + 32

C= 35 degrees

F = ? F = 1.8 (35) + 32

F = 6+3.00 + 32

F = 95 Degrees

________________________________________________________

F = 1.8 (C) +32

F = 95 Degrees

C = ? 95 = 1.8 (C) +_32

95 = 1.8 (C) +32

-32 -32

_________________________________

63.00 1.8 (C)

_______ _________

1.8 1.8

35 Degrees =C

Hope this helps !
