Temperature Measurements The relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales for measuring temperature is given by the equation.
The relationship between the Celsius and Kelvin scales is . Graph the equation using degrees Fahrenheit on the y-axis and degrees Celsius on the x-axis. Use the techniques introduced in this section to obtain the graph showing the relationship between Kelvin and Fahrenheit temperatures.
In Problems 7–18, match each graph to one of the following functions:

Inscribe a right circular cylinder of height h and radius r in a cone of fixed radius Rand fixed height H. See the illustration. Express the volume V of the cylinder as a function of r.
[Hint: . Note also the similar triangles.]
