but it is true!! if you add a glass of water at 20c to a glass of water at
30c you don't get water at 50c. makes you wonder....
the answer lies in the nature of linear and non-linear functions.

Asunto: NJC - heavy weather - NJC
Homework Question: Is 36 C twice as hot as 18 C, and therefore four times
hotter than 9 C?
Answer: How could it be if 36 C = 98.6 F, 18 C =64.4 F, and 9 C = 48.2 F?
Obviously 98.6 is not twice as much as 64.4 or four times as much as 48.2.
Can any mathematician explain in more detail, please?
