Biologists have observed that the chirping rate of crickets is linearly related to temperature. A cricket produces 120 chirps pe

r minute at 70 F and 168 chirps per minute at 80 F. a) Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that gives temperature as a function of the number of chirps per minute. Be sure to tell me what your variables stand for. b) What is the temperature if the crickets chirp at 150 chirps per minute? c) Reverse this function to give the number of chirps per minute as a function of temperature.

Answer:

a)   t = 5/24 c + 45.

b)  76 degrees F.

c)   c = (24/5) t - 216.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)      The rate of temperature change to number of chirps per minute =   (80-70) / (168 - 120)

=   10 / 48 = 5/24.

So we can write the equation as t = 5/24 c + b  where t = temperature, c = number of chirps and b is a constant.

Plugging in the values  t = 70 and c = 120 we can find the value of b:

70 = (5/24) * 120 + b

b = 70 -  5*5

b = 45

So the required equation is

t = 5/24 c + 45.

b)          When   number of chirps is 150:

Temperature t = (5 *150) / 24 + 45

= 76 degrees F.

c)   Reversing the process

t = 5/24 c + 45

5/24 c = t - 45

c =  (24/5) t - 45 * 24/5

c = (24/5) t - 216.

ElenaW [278]
(2x-1)(4x+1) just multiply the terms in the parentesis

Do the following:

2x*4x
2x*1
-1*4x
-1*1

You get:

8x^2+2x-4x-1

Final result:

8x^2-2x-1

Which polynomials are prime? check all that apply. 15x2 10x – 9x 7 20x2 – 12x 30x – 18 6x3 14x2 – 12x – 28 8x3 20x2 3x 12 11x4 4
FrozenT [24]

The options that are prime polynomials are,

15x^2  +10x -9x+7, 8x^3+20x^2+3x+12 and 11x^4+4x^2-6x^2-16

<h3>What is the prime polynomial?</h3>

A polynomial with integer coefficients that cannot be factored into polynomials of lower degree, also with integer coefficients, is called an irreducible or prime polynomial.

To determine all options in order to check that the polynomials are prime or not:

1). 15x^2  +10x -9x+7

5x(3x + 2) - (9x - 7)

Therefore,  this polynomial can not be factored into lower degree polynomial. Therefore, it is a prime polynomial.

2). 20x^2-12x+30x-18

4x(5x - 3)+6(5x-3)

(4x + 6)(5x - 3)

Therefore,  this polynomial is converted into a lower degree polynomial. Therefore, it is not a prime polynomial.

3). 6x^3+14x^2-12x-28

2x^2(3x+7)-4(3x+7)

(2x^2-4)(3x+7)

Therefore,  this polynomial is converted into a lower degree polynomial. Therefore, it is not a prime polynomial.

4). 8x^3+20x^2+3x+12

4x^2(2x+5)+(3x+20)

Therefore, this polynomial can not be factored into lower degree polynomial. Therefore, it is a prime polynomial.

5). 11x^4+4x^2-6x^2-16

x^2(11x^2+4)-2(3x^2+8)

So, this polynomial can not be factored into lower degree polynomial. Therefore, it is a prime polynomial.
