Answer:

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

Explanation:

<u>Temperature Units Conversion </u>

The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales is well-known. But we'll use the provided data to derive the formula. Let's model the relationship between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) as a linear function like

F=mC+b

Where m and b must be computed according to the pair of conditions given. The values for each temperature scale are (C,F)=(0,32) and (100,212). Replacing the first value

32=m\times 0+b

It means that  

b=32

By using the second point

212=m\times 100+32

Solving for m

\displaystyle m=\frac{212-32}{100}=\frac{180}{100}

Simplifying

\displaystyle m=\frac{9}{5}

So, the conversion formula is

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

Which is the widely known formula for temperature conversion

Solving for C, we get the inverse relation

\boxed{\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)}

Why was Democritus considered a philosopher and not a scientist?
Alika [10]

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.
