John is going on a trip and the country he is traveling to uses the Celsius scale. He is curious about converting Celsius temper

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$f(x)=\dfrac{9}{5}x+32$ converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.

$g(x)=\dfrac{5(x-32)}{9}$ converts Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write given data in the table

$\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\^{\circ}\text{C}&^{\circ}\text{F}\\20&68\\30&86\end{array}$

Let the expression for the function be

$f(x)=ax+b$

Note, that this equation is linear equation and it is well-known fact that the Celsius to Fahrenheit dependence is linear.

Substitute corresponding values into this expression:

$68=20a+b\\ \\86=30a+b$

Subtract these two equations:

$86-68=30a-20a\\ \\10a=18\\ \\a=\dfrac{9}{5}$

Substitute it into the first equation:

$68=20\cdot \dfrac{9}{5}+b\Rightarrow b=68-36=32$

So,

$f(x)=\dfrac{9}{5}x+32$

This is the function which converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.

And function

$g(x)=\dfrac{5(x-32)}{9}$ converts Fahrenheit to Celsius.

a pond is being dug according to plans that have a scale of 1 inch= 6.5 feet. The maximum distance across the pond is 9.75 inche

cestrela7 [59]

We are given a scale that for every 1 in on the plan, the actual length will 6.5 ft.

The maximum distance across the pond on the plan is 9.75 in. So that means we will need to take 6.5 ft 9.75 times. So our answer is

6.5*9.75=63.375 ft. That's the answer.

We can visualize this a different way

1 in = 6.5 ft

9.75 in = x ft

And from here it's a little more clear to see what needs to be done.

Hope this helped!
