Description
The relationship between temperature measured on the Celsius scale and on the Fahrenheit scale is linear. The freezing point of water is 0°C and 32°F, and the boiling point is 100°C and 212°F.
(a) Find an equation giving the relationship between the temperature F measured on the Fahrenheit scale and the temperature C measured on the Celsius scale.
F =
(b) Find F as a function of C, and use this formula to determine the temperature in Fahrenheit corresponding to a temperature of 25°C. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
(c) Find C as a function of F, and use this formula to determine the temperature in Celsius corresponding to a temperature of 60°F. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
Explanation & Answer
The solution is ready. I marked what you need to enter in bold.Please ask if something is unclear.
It is given that the corresponding value for 0℃ is 32℉ and the corresponding value for
100℃ is 212℉ and that the relationship is linear.
To find a formula for this relationship, first find the slope (let for now ℃ will be 𝑥 and ℉ will
be 𝑦). The slope...
