The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between −40°C and 125°C. To convert Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius temperature, the formula is C = 5 over 9 (F − 32). Write and solve the inequality to determine the Fahrenheit temperature range at which this antifreeze protects the car.

Answer:

The antifreeze protects the car between -40°F and 257°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities

The range of Celsius temperatures the car's antifreeze protects the car is

[tex]-40 \le ^\circ C \le 125[/tex]

To convert °C to °F we use the formula:

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

To find the equivalent range of temperatures in °F, substitute the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle -40 \le \frac{5}{9}(F-32) \le 125[/tex]

Multiply by 9, divide by 5:

[tex]\displaystyle -40*9/5 \le F-32 \le 125*9/5[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle -72 \le F-32 \le 225[/tex]

Adding 32:

[tex]\displaystyle -72+32 \le F \le 225+32[/tex]

Operating, we get the range of temperatures in °F:

[tex]\displaystyle -40 \le F \le 257[/tex]

The antifreeze protects the car between -40°F and 257°F
