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?

Question

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

Answer 1

The function \( C(F) \) represents the temperature of \( F \) degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius.

In this context, \( C \) is a function of \( F \), indicating that for a given temperature \( F \) in Fahrenheit, \( C(F) \) will provide the corresponding temperature in Celsius.
