Find the linear function Cequals​f(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the

Fahrenheit scale. Use the facts that Cequals0 when Fequals32 ​(freezing point) and Cequals100 when Fequals212 ​(boiling point). b. At what temperature are the Celsius and Fahrenheit readings​ equal?

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b            (1)

100 = 212 a + b       (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40

What is the frequency of a wave?
Makovka662 [10]
Wavelength is also measured in metres (m) - it is a length after all. The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

Which of the above solutions could be used to remove lead from lead (II) nitrate?
alisha [4.7K]

Ni solution could be used to remove lead from lead (II) nitrate.

Explanation:

The removal of lead from lead nitrate will take place by displacement reaction.

In displacement reaction less reactive element is displaced by more reactive element form it compound.

The reactivity is decided by the placement of metal in the activity series.

A metal which is at higher position in the activity series will be able to displace the metal or element having lower position.

From the options given we will check their position in the activity series in comparison to Pb

Cu is lower in series than Pb hence cannot displace.

Hg is placed lower in the series than Pb hence cannot displace Pb.

Ag is placed lower than Pb in the series hence cannot displace Pb.

Ni is placed above the Pb in activity series hence can displace lead.
