Answer:

The function
f(C)=(5)/(9)(F-32), convert degrees Fahrenheit back to degrees Celsius.

Explanation:

Given : the function
f(c)=(9)/(5)c+32 allows to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.

We have to find the inverse of the function so that you can convert degrees Fahrenheit back to degrees Celsius.

Since
f(c)=(9)/(5)c+32 convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.

So,
f(c)=(9)/(5)c+32 can be written as
F=(9)/(5)C+32, where F is temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. and C is temperature in degrees Celsius.

Thus, to find the function that convert degrees Fahrenheit back to degrees Celsius.

Find the value of C in terms of F by solving
F=(9)/(5)C+32,

Subtract 32 both side, we have,


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

Multiply by
(5)/(9) we have,


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

Thus, the function
f(C)=(5)/(9)(F-32), convert degrees Fahrenheit back to degrees Celsius.
