For one month Siera calculated her home town’s average high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. She wants to convert that temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius using the function C of F = five-ninths (F minus 32) . What does C(F) represent?

the temperature of F degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
the temperature of F degrees Celsius converted to degrees Fahrenheit
the temperature of C degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
the temperature of C degrees Celsius converted to degrees Fahrenheit

1 answer

The function \( C(F) = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32) \) represents the temperature \( F \) in degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius.

So, the correct answer is:

- the temperature of \( F \) degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
