Write as a Function of c f=9/5c+32

Problem

ƒ=9/5*c+32

Solution

1. Identify the given equation, which expresses the temperature in Fahrenheit ƒ in terms of the temperature in Celsius c

2. Subtract 32 from both sides of the equation to begin isolating the variable c

ƒ−32=9/5*c

3. Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 9/5 which is 5/9 to solve for c

5/9*(ƒ−32)=c

4. Rewrite the equation in function notation where c is a function of ƒ

c(ƒ)=5/9*(ƒ−32)

Final Answer

c(ƒ)=5/9*(ƒ−32)
