The function C=5/9(F-32) expresses the Celsius temperature as a function of the Fahrenheit temperature. Find the inverse function.
-----
F = 1.8C + 32
F = (9C/5) + 32
F = (9C + 160)/5
F = (18C + 320)/10
-----------
What is it used for?
To convert temps in C to temps in F.
eg: 37C ---> (18*37 + 320)/10 = 986/10 = 98.6F
