Consider the formula which relates temperature in Fahrenheight (F) to temperature in Celsius (C): F equals 9 over 5 C space plus space 32. We can express this relationship explicitly as a function: f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 9 over 5 x space plus space 32, where x is the temperature in Celsius and y is the temperature in Fahrenheit. In this case, which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable? Using the function, what are the temperatures in Fahrenheit that correspond to the temperatures in Celsius of 10, 50, and -20? That is, what are f left parenthesis 10 right parenthesis comma space f left parenthesis 50 right parenthesis comma space text and end text f left parenthesis negative 20 right parentheses? What are the temperatures in Celsius that correspond to these temperatures in Fahrenheit.: 32, 104, and -4. That is, find a comma space b comma space text and end text c such that f left parenthesis a right parenthesis space equals space 32 comma space f left parenthesis b right parenthesis space equals space 104 comma space text and end text f left parenthesis c right parenthesis space equals space minus 4
