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.

The domain of the function is all the values from which the functio can be mapped: here it's between 0 and <span>76,867 -depending on how many people come

</span>0 \leq x\geq 76867

The range is all the values that the function can have.So here it's from 0, when noone is coming, to 76867*161=12377036

0 \leq y\geq 12377036

The function L = 0.8T^2 models the relationship between L, the length in feet of a pendulum, and T, the period in seconds of the
Semmy [17]
The correct option is "d".
Given that L = 0.8T²
length of pendulum = 30ft

L= 0.8T²
30 = 0.8T²
T² = 30 / 0.8
T² = 37.5
T = √37.5 = 6.1 seconds
<span>So, 6.1 is the closest to the period in seconds for a pendulum that is 30 ft long.</span>
