Answer:
<h2>The graph is continuous. </h2><h2>A viable solution is (10, 50).</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
This equation models the relationship between the temperatura and the number of cricket chirps.
Where is temperature in degress Fahrenheit and is the number of cricket chirps heard in 14 seconds.
According to the problem, the temperature can be found by counting the number of cricket chirps heard in 14 seconds and then adding 40.
Now, the choices to this question are
The graph is continuous.
All values of t must be positive.
A viable solution is (–2, 38).
A viable solution is (0.5, 40.5).
A viable solution is (10, 50).
The graph of the given equation is attached, it shows the linear relationship between both variables.
Notice that the graph is continuous, it doesn't have any restriction, nor "emptyness" at certain values.
Observe that the remaining choices are all solutions of the equation, but not all of them are viable, because the number of cricket chirps must be positive and integer, because we can't here the sound of 0.5 cricket.
Therefore, the last choice is viable (10, 50).
