Answer:

A. How can the equation be used in temperature conversion?

You take the conversion equation C = (5/9) (F - 32) and you replace the F by the value of Fahrenheit degrees...  then solve the calculations to get the degrees in Celsius.

For example, if you have 80°F to convert in °C:

C = (5/9) (80 - 32) = (5/9) (48) = 26.66 °C

B. How can you use the graph to find the body temp in C?

Using the graph will give a very imprecise measure due the scale of the graph.

But you would have to find 98.6 on the axis of X (it represents the °F), then go upwards until you find the line....

Then report that position on the line on the Y-axis (representing the °C) to get your measure.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The linear equation is C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

<u>For B:</u> The temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For A:</u>

Linear equations are defined as the equations in which the highest power of a variable is '1'. The general equation for a linear equation is:

y=mx+c

where,

y = Y-coordinate

m = slope of the line

x = X - coordinate

c = intercept on y-axis

For the given equation:

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

The linear equation representation for the given equation is:

C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

  • <u>For B:</u>

We are given a value of temperature in degree Fahrenheit. To calculate its value in degree Celsius, we use the equation above.

Putting value of F = 98.6 in above equation, we get:

C=(\frac{5}{9}\times 98.6)-\frac{32}{9}\\\\C=37

Hence, the temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

The mean is the average of the numbers. You add up all numbers and divide the result for how many numbers there are (14)

6+2+59+12+11+9+9+54+54+46+2+32+43+11 = 350

Mean = 350/14 = 25

You multiply then solve for y
<span>(–9.7 • 24) • (–0.25) = –9.7 • (24 • y)
</span>-232.8*(-0.25)=-232.8y
58.2=-232.8y
58.2/-232.8=-232.8y/-232.8
y= -0.25

15 points !!!! Diameter Radius Area Circumference of 84mm
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

lets \:  \:  \: find \:  \: the \:  \: radius \\  = 2\pi \: r \\  = 2\pi \: r = 84 \\  =  \frac{2\pi \: r}{2\pi }  =  \frac{84}{2\pi}  \\  = r = 13.37mm

lets \:  \:  \: find \:  \: the \:  \:  \: area \\  = \pi {r}^{2}  \\  = \pi \times  {13.37}^{2}  \\  = 561.55 {mm}^{2}

lets \:  \:  \: find \:  \:  \: the \:  \: diameter \\  = d = 2r \\  = d = 2 \times 13.37 \\  = d = 26.74mm
