The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between −40°C and 125°C. To covert Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit temperature, the formula is C equals five ninths times the quantity F minus thirty two.. Write a compound inequality to determine the Fahrenheit temperature range at which the antifreeze protects the car.

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between -40°C and 125°C.

So inequality which models this situation will be -40°C < T < 125°C

Now we have to show this inequality in Fahrenheit temperature with the help of
C=(5)/(9) (F-32)

So the compound inequality in Fahrenheit temperature will be


-40 < (5)/(9) (F-32) < 125
