Problem

The Fahrenheit temperature F and the absolute (Kelvin) temperature K are linear functions...

The Fahrenheit temperature F and the absolute (Kelvin) temperature K are linear functions of each other. Moreover. K = 273.16 when F = 32, and K = 373.16 when F = 212.

a. Find a linear function K(F) that gives the absolute temperature as a function of the Fahrenheit temperature.


b. Use your function from part (a) to find the Fahrenheit temperature when the Kelvin temperature is 0 (“absolute zero”).


c. What is the Kelvin temperature when the Fahrenheit temperature is 0?
