Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in your image asks for the correct formula to convert temperature from Kelvin (K) to Fahrenheit (F).
We know:
- The function to convert from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) is .
- The function to convert from Kelvin (K) to Celsius (C) is .
To find the function that converts Kelvin to Fahrenheit, combine these two steps:
- First, convert Kelvin to Celsius:
- Then, use the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion:
Substitute the expression for from step 1 into the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula:
This matches option D in your question.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- D.
