The formula for converting Fahrenheit​ temperature, F, to​ Celsius, C, is Cequalsfive ninths left parenthesis Upper F minus 32 right parenthesis. If Celsius temperature ranges from negative 22degreesC to 38degrees​C, ​inclusive, what is the range for the Fahrenheit​ temperature? Use a compound inequality.

Answer:

The range for the Fahrenheit​ temperature is -7.6 to 100.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial inequality can be written as:

-22 ≤ °C ≤ 38

The formula for converting °C to °F is:


C=(5)/(9) (F-32)

The replacing this equation on the inequality and solving for F we get.

-22 ≤
(5)/(9) (F-32)\\ ≤ 38


-22*(9)/(5) ≤ F -32 ≤
38*(9)/(5)

(
-22*(9)/(5) )+32 ≤ F ≤ (
38*(9)/(5))+32

-7.6 ≤ F ≤ 100.4

Finally, The range for the Fahrenheit​ temperature is -7.6 to 100.4
