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.

DedPeter [7]
The vertex is (2, -3).
Use the formula x= -b/2a to find the x value., which is 2.Then, substitute it into the function, wherever you see an x. Follow order operations and you get y, which is -3.

Anyone know how to simplify a whole number into a mixed number or a improper fraction???
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Example any whole number over one would be an improper fraction, so 2=2/1, something like 5/3=1 2/3 would be a mixed number, subtract the numerator by the denominator, how ever many times you can subtract is the whole number and the amount remaining is the numerator, keep the same denominator,,, hope that makes sense
