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.

Which of these system of linear equations has no solution
____ [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Those two lines are the same. If you divide the second equation by 2, you will end up with the first equation. A system of linear equations cannot have two of the same line.

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 29 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the l
zavuch27 [327]

Solution :

Given data :

The mean length of the steel rod = 29 centimeter (cm)

The standard deviation of a normally distributed lengths of rods = 0.07 centimeter (cm)

a). We are required to find the proportion of rod that have a length of less than 28.9 centimeter (cm).

Therefore, P(x < 28.9) = P(z < (28.9-29) / 0.07)

                                    = P(z < -1.42)

                                   = 0.0778

b). Any rods which is shorter than 24.84 cm or longer than 25.16 cm that re discarded.

Therefore,

P (x < 24.84 or 25.16 < x) = P( -59.42 < z or -54.85)

                                         = 1.052
