This Blog exists for the collective benefit of all geometry students. All questions are welcome. The more specific your question (including your own attempts to answer it) the better.
EVEN MORE WELCOME ARE ANSWERS FROM FELLOW STUDENTS. BLOG ON!
Solve those equations, boys and girls!! Remember what FUN that was?! Just when you thought Geometry class couldn't get any more exciting, we go and add Algebra back into the mix... YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!
conor... here are some hints. a. your a smart kid i think you know how to plug in numbers for farenheit and celcius. b. be CREATIVE (emphasis on CREATE) with a new (ithink) rule that you think someone might make for such a formula. c. quote A and reverse the plugin
sorry, after reading what i posted i realized that it wasn't completely clare. you need to make an equation so that you can do letter c. (if you havent noticed you cant pluggin celcius directly through the equation. so yeah
What they are asking in #4b is: can you solve the equation:
C=(5/9)(F-32) for F
Remember "literal" equations??
In the "vernacular" they are saying: Here is a formula that states the Celsius temp AS A FUNCTION OF Fahrenheit temp ; can you now DERIVE a formula that will state the Fahrenheit temp AS A FUNCTION OF the Celsius temp... simply stated, can you solve this equation for "F"??
There are TWO variables in this equation, so when you try to solve for "F" you're still going to have "C" involved. Think of your "target" solution... what will it look/sound like? The solution to this one will look like:
F="something" ... right??
Who has a good first step to get us on the road?
What could be better than this on a rainy September Saturday???
This sounds like a good question, Zach, but I don't fully understand it. What is the context of your question or... Which question in the hw are you referring to?
How do you do the celcius problems?
ReplyDeleteExtra credit to anyone who can give Conor a hint to get started without totally giving away the solution! (... this is ho-wie do it!!)

Mr. C. :)
So Conor, did either Max or I help you out??
ReplyDeleteI dont understand how to use the number line if the absolute value of x = 0, I am not sure how to write that in the way they want you to.
