In everyday experience, the measures of temperature most often used are Fahrenheit F and Celsius C. Recall that the relationship between them is given by the following formula. F = 1.8C + 32 Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. You can get kelvins K from degrees Celsius by using the following formula. K = C + 273.15 1. Find a formula expressing the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature K in kelvins.
Any ideas :-)
Since the question asks to find a formula expressing the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature K in kelvins you need to eliminate the temperature measured in Celsius C.
These are the two given formulas: $$\Huge F = 1.8C + 32$$ $$\Huge K = C + 273.15$$
Note the question asks for F as a function of K which means F(K).
Right..
Any ideas? :-)
Not at all, you said we had to eliminate the C but I have no idea how lol
Choose one of the equations and solve it for C.
Can you do that?
So, F-32/1.8 = C
Ok, now substitute that into the other equation and simplify.
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG
