Temperature Conversion The function converts a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, F, to a temperature in degrees Celsius, C.
--------------
The function K(C) = C + 273, converts a temperature in degrees Celsius to a temperature in kelvins, K.
---------------------------
(a) Find a function that converts a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to a temperature in kelvins.
K = (F-32)*(5/9)
--------------------------
(b) Determine 80 degrees Fahrenheit in kelvins
K(80) = (80-32)*)(5/9) = 48*(5/9) = 26.67 degrees
--------------------
