**please Help me** The formula C=(5/9)(F−32), where F>=−459.67 expresses the Celsius temperature C as a function of Fahrenheit temperature F. Find the inverse function and the domain of the inverse function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i found the inverse function to be (1/5)(9F+160) but i can't get the domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the -infinity part is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm confussed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would the domain be

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

the lowest temperature, I think. in your case it is -459.67

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i've tried that too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[-459.67,infinity) is wrong

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

so your interval is from [-459.67, +infinity)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it's wrong? lol then i don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it says it is

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

there are two infinities though - and +

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the domains i've tried are (-infinity,infinity) and [-459.67,infinity) and (-459.67,infinity)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

well that's because we are using F temperature. convert F>=−459.67 into celsius and use that as your beginning interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

let me know if that's wrong still … LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried doing what u said and got (-273.15,infinity). it said the type of interval was wrong. what does that mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nincompoop

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

I am here

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

don't use ( use [

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks i got it right.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you're welcome

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

every time you see greater than or equal to and lesser than or equal to it is always [ or ] only with infinity that you use ( or ) because we can never really reach infinity
