Answer

Range: $5^{\circ}C $ to $10^{\circ}C $ inclusive, or $[5^{\circ}C,10^{\circ}C]$

Work Step by Step

Given: $ 41\leq F\leq 50\qquad $ Replace $ F $ with the expression for $ C $ $ 41\displaystyle \leq\frac{5}{9}C+32\leq 50\qquad $ Solve for $ C $. Begin by adding $(-32)$ to all parts: $ 9\displaystyle \leq\frac{5}{9}C\leq 18\qquad $ Multiply all parts with $\displaystyle \frac{5}{9}$ $9(\displaystyle \frac{5}{9})\leq\frac{5}{9}(\frac{5}{9})C\leq 18(\frac{5}{9})$ $5\leq C\leq 10$ Range: $5^{\circ}C $ to $10^{\circ}C $ inclusive, or $[5^{\circ}C,10^{\circ}C]$
