\[
C(F)=\square F-\square
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Express the original function
The original function is given as:
\[
F(C) = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
\]
This function converts a temperature \( C \) in degrees Celsius to a temperature \( F \) in degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Solve for \( C \) in terms of \( F \)
To find the inverse function \( C(F) \), we solve the equation for \( C \):
\[
F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
\]
Subtract 32 from both sides:
\[
F - 32 = \frac{9}{5}C
\]
Multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{9} \) to isolate \( C \):
\[
C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)
\]
Step 3: Write the inverse function
The inverse function \( C(F) \) is:
\[
C(F) = \frac{5}{9}F - \frac{160}{9}
\]
This function converts a temperature \( F \) in degrees Fahrenheit to a temperature \( C \) in degrees Celsius.
Final Answer
The inverse of \( F(C) = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \) is:
\[
\boxed{C(F) = \frac{5}{9}F - \frac{160}{9}}
\]
