Question

To convert temperatures from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit , you can use F(x) =9/5x +32 where x is the temperature in degrees Celsius .

Answer 1

When given a temperature in Celsius, substitute the value for x in the equation F(x) = 9/5x + 32. See example below.

Explanation:

The formula F(x) = 9/5x+32 can be used to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. Substitute a value in Celsius into the formula and then simplify.

Example: If the temperature is 9 degrees Celsius.

F(x) = 9/5 (9) + 32

= 81/5 + 32

= 16.2 + 32

= 48.2 degrees Fahrenheit
