- TEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.5 A donation to the university is required for the privilege of purchasing premium season football passes. The cost is a linear function of the number of season passes. It costs 8000 to get season passes for myself and my spouse. To get passes for my entire family of 5, it costs 17,000. Use a formula to express the total cost C, in dollars, of n season passes. EXAMPLE 3.5 CHANGING CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT Temperature F=F(C) in Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature C in Celsius. A lab assistant placed a Fahrenheit thermometer beside a Celsius thermometer and observed the following: When the Celsius thermometer reads 30 degree (C=30), the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 86 degrees (F=86). When the Celsius thermometer reads 40 degrees, the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 104 degrees. Part 1 Use a formula to express F as a linear function of C.
