The formula for converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit temperatures is F=9/5C+32

"Determine whether the original formula is a function, and whether the inverse is a function''

AOriginal is a function; inverse is not
BOriginal is a function; inverse is a function
COriginal is not a function; inverse is not a function
DOriginal is not a function; inverse is a function

Both the original and the inverse are functions because for each value of C there is a unique value of F and vice-versa.

i.e.
B. Original is a function; inverse is a function

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit temperatures is

\(F=\frac{9}{5}C+32\)

A relation is called a function if there exist a unique output for each input.

The original formula is a  function because for each value of C, there exist a unique value of F.

The inverse of the function is

\(F-32=\frac{9}{5}C\)

\(\frac{5}{9}\times (F-32)=C\)

The inverse is also a function because for each value of F, there exist a unique value of C.

Therefore original is a function; inverse is a function. Option B is correct.
