Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Question

Chapter 1.3, Problem 48WE

(a)

To determine

The Celsius temperature correspond to Fahrenheit temperatures of 212∘ and 98.6∘

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 48WE

In Celsius, C=100⁰ and C=37⁰ respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The Ruler Postulate suggests that there are many ways to assign coordinates to a line. The Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales on a thermometer indicate two such ways of assigning coordinates. A Fahrenheit temperature of 32° corresponds to a Celsius temperature of 0°.

Formula used:

C=59(F−32)

Calculation:

The Ruler Postulate suggests there are many ways to assign coordinates to a line. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scale on the thermometer indicate two such ways of assigning coordinates.

A Fahrenheit temperature of 32°corresponds to Celsius temperature or 0°. The formula for converting a Fahrenheit temperature F into Celsius temperature C is;

C=59(F−32)

Substitute value of F=212∘ in C=59(F−32)

C=59(212−32) =5×1809 =5×20C=100

Substitute value of F=98.6∘ in C=59(F−32)

C=59(98.6−32) =5×66.69 =5×7.4C=37

Hence, answer to a. in Celsius is C=100⁰ and C=37⁰ respectively

Conclusion:

In Celsius, C=100⁰ and C=37⁰ respectively.

(b)

To determine

the equation above for F to obtain a rule for converting Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit temperatures.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 48WE

F=9C+1605

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Formula used:

The formula or rule, for converting a Fahrenheit temperature F into a Celsius temperature C is

C=59(F−32)

Calculation:

From the equation

C=59(F−32)9C=5(F−32)9C=5F−1605F=9C+160

Solve it further

F=9C+1605

Hence, the value of the above expression is F=9C+1605

Conclusion:

The value of the above expression is F=9C+1605

(c)

To determine

The Fahrenheit temperatures corresponds to Celsius temperatures of −40∘ and 2000∘

(c)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 48WE

In Fahrenheit, F = -40° and F = 3632° respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Formula used:

The formula or rule, for converting a Fahrenheit temperature F into a Celsius temperature C is

C=59(F−32)

Calculation:

From part b

F=9C+1605

Substitute value of C=−40∘ in the above equation

F=9×(−40)+1605 =−360+1605 =−2005F=−40

Substitute value of C=2000∘ in the above equation

F=9×(2000)+1605 =18000+1605 =181605F=3632

Hence, the answer to c. in Fahrenheit is F = -40° and F = 3632° respectively.

Conclusion:

In Fahrenheit, F = -40° and F = 3632° respectively.
