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

Female giraffes reach a height of 4.3 meters, and males reach a height of 5.5 meters. Kendra created a bar diagram and wrote an
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The purpose of the the bar diagram is to show the difference between the heights of female and male giraffes, in other words, the bar diagram needs to be able to show how much one value is more or less than the other value.

The height of the males can reach 5.5 meters, and the females' height will only reach 4.3 meters, therefore, we can see that the height of the males are larger than the height of the females, so the equation to find the difference in the heights should be: 5.5 - d = 4.3 (or any other way around).

From that, we know that the height of the males is d meters more than the height of females or the height of the females is d meters less than the height of the males.

A bucket that weighs 6 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 80 ft deep. The bucket is f
zaharov [31]

Answer:

3200 ft-lb

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to find the force applied by the rope on the bucket at time t

At t=0, the weight of the bucket is 6+36=42 \mathrm{lb}

After t seconds, the weight of the bucket is 42-0.15 t \mathrm{lb}

Since the acceleration of the bucket is the force on the bucket by the rope is equal to the weight of the bucket.

If the upward direction is positive, the displacement after t seconds is x=1.5 t

Since the well is 80 ft deep, the time to pull out the bucket is \frac{80}{2}=40 \mathrm{~s}

We are now ready to calculate the work done by the rope on the bucket.

Since the displacement and the force are in the same direction, we can write

W=\int_{t=0}^{t=36} F d x

Use x=1.5 t and F=42-0.15 t

W=\int_{0}^{36}(42-0.15 t)(1.5 d t)

=\int_{0}^{36} 63-0.225 t d t

=63 \cdot 36-0.2 \cdot 36^{2}-0=3200 \mathrm{ft} \cdot \mathrm{lb}

=\left[63 t-0.2 t^{2}\right]_{0}^{36}

W=3200 \mathrm{ft} \cdot \mathrm{lb}

State whether the following coordinates on a Cartesian plane form an acute, obtuse or right triangle: a) (-1, 1), (7,-2) and (1,
LiRa [457]

Answer:

a) Acute triangle

b) Right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A triangle having sides a, b and c is called,

Acute : If a² + b² > c² or a² + c² > b² or b² + c² > a²,

Obtuse : if a² + b² < c² or a² + c² < b² or b² + c² < a²

Right : a² + b² = c² or a² + c² = b² or b² + c² = a²,

a) Let A≡(-1, 1), B≡(7,-2) and C≡(1,-5),

By the distance formula,

AB=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-2-1)^2}=\sqrt{(7+1)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+3^2}=\sqrt{64+9}=\sqrt{73}\text{ unit}

Similarly,

BC=\sqrt{45}\text{ unit}

CA=\sqrt{40}\text{ unit}

∵ The sum of any two sides is greater than third side,

So, ABC is a triangle,

Now,

AB^2 + BC^2 > CA^2

⇒ ABC is an acute triangle.

b) Let P≡(0,6), Q≡(1,2) and R≡(5,3),

By the distance formula,

PQ = √17 unit,

QR = √17 unit,

RP = √34 unit,

∵ The sum of any two sides of PQR is greater than third side,

⇒ PQR is a triangle ,

Also,

RP^2=PQ^2+QR^2

Hence, PQR is a right triangle.
