Answer:

The required formula for the inverse function is [tex]F=\frac{9C}{5}+32[/tex]

The domain of the inverse function is [tex][-273.15,\infty][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula [tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex], where [tex]F\geq-459.67[/tex] expresses the Celsius temperature C as a function of the Fahrenheit temperature F.

To find : A formula for the inverse function and What is the domain of the inverse function?

Solution :

a) To find inverse,

The formula is given by,

[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex]

Write the function F in terms of C,

[tex]\frac{9C}{5}=F-32[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9C}{5}+32=F[/tex]

The required formula for the inverse function is

[tex]F=\frac{9C}{5}+32[/tex]

b) To find domain of inverse function,

We have given, [tex]F\geq-459.67[/tex]

So, The domain of the given function is [tex][-459.67,\infty][/tex]

Now, substitute F=-459.67 in the given function to get the domain of the inverse function.

[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(-459.67-32)[/tex]

[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(-491.67)[/tex]

[tex]C=-273.15[/tex]

Therefore, the domain of the inverse function is [tex][-273.15,\infty][/tex]
