Biologists have observed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship

appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 120 chirps per minute at 70°F and 168 chirps per minute at 80°F.
(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.


(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)

(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.
If the equation is linear, then the equation should have the form of t = mn + b

m = (80 - 70) / (168 - 120) = 5/24

t = 5/24n + b

70 = 5/24(120) + b
b = 45

t = 5/24 n + 45

<span>(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)
</span><span>t = 5/24 n + 45
</span><span>t = 5/24 (138) + 45 = 74 </span>°F

How will knowing plants needs help you choose a plant to help stop soil from washing away
algol13

Answer:

Plants are restrictive to flow of eroding agents, bind soil in their roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soil Erosion is the wearing away of the topmost fertile layer of soil. Topsoil gets eroded mainly due to wind, water agents.

Plants help to prevent soil from erosion in following ways :

  • Plants act as restriction to the speed of air & water, which are the main soil erosion agents. It also lets rain water get soaked into the ground water.
  • Plants roots also bind the soil tightly, & make soil stronger to be eroded by erosive agents - water, air. Eg : Shrubs , trees, grass & ground are important soil erosion preventive plants, because of their extensive root systems.

can someone help me with this I have to do like 18 other questions so if you can help me with those I would appreciate it!
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

(0, 4)

(1, 7)

\frac{7-4}{1-0} = 3

y = 3x + b

(4) = 3(0) + b

b = 4

y = 3x + 4

Rate of change: 3       initial value: 4

2.)

(0, -5)

(1, -3)

\frac{-3-(-5)}{1-0} = 2

y = 2x + b

(-5) = 2(0) + b

b = -5

Rate of change: 2        initial value: -5

A store in Ashland purchased a cat calendar at a cost of $1.30 and marked it up 100%. Later on, Fernando bought the cat calendar
Arada [10]

Answer:

$2.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Purchase price of cat calendar = $1.30

Markup = 100%

Hence, price at which the cat calendar was sold :

1.30 + 100%(1.35)

$1.30 + $1.30 = $2.60

Sales tax = 15%

Amount paid as sales. tax _

15% * 2.60 = $0.39

Total amount paid :

$2.60 + 0.39 = $2.99
