1) Let C be the room temperature in degrees celsius and F be the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Then relationship between C and F tempertaure scales is given by C = 5/9 (F-32).
You would like to set your thermostate so that the room temperature is always within a specified range in degrees celsius, but your thermostat is set up in Farhrenheit.
a) Translate the statement, "the temperature is always within 2 deg C of 20 deg C" into mathematical notion using an inequality involoving absolute values and F.
b) Use the relationship between C and F to verify that 68 deg F = 20 deg C.
c) If you would like the temeprature to always be within d degree celsius of 20 deg C, how close should F be to 68 deg F? Your answer will be in terms of d. (Hint: Start by translating the question into mathematical nnotion and use the fact that 20 = 5/9 (36).)
d) Suppose you set up your thermostat so that |F-68| <5. Within how many derees C of 20 deg C will the room temeprature be?

- 2.An object whose temperature is 100°C is placed in a medium whose temperature is A°C. The temperature of the object falls to B°C in C min. a) Express the temperature T of the object as a function of time and draw its graph roughly to the scale. b)Calculate how long will it take the object to cool to 50°C.

The student records were divided into two groups: male (group 1) and female (group 2). A 93% confidnece interval for pi – P2 was found to be as follows: (0.03, 0.09) Interpret the endpoints of this interval in the context of this problem. Do not use the word "difference" in your answer.arrow_forward
