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)}

What are similarities between the Rorschach inkblots and the TAT test?
Luden [163]
The Rorschach inkblots and the TAT (Thematic Appreciation Test) both rely on providing the subject with ambiguous visual stimuli and assessing the subject's state of mind using the subject's interpretation of the stimuli.
Both use cards, although not all of the cards are used in the TAT. Moreover, the TAT cards contain sketches, while the Rorschach inkblots contain patterns of ink.
