Answer:
Explanation:
Answers:
- All values of t must be positive
- A viable solution is (10, 50)
- All values of t must be positive.
t, temperature (in Fahrenheit) is dependent on c
c is the number of cricket chirps heard in 14 seconds
Therefore, all values of c must be positive integers
If all values of c must be positive integers
Then all values of t must also be positive integers
- A viable solution is (10, 50).
t = c + 40
Since 10 is a positive integer, it is a possible value for c
If c = 10
t = 10 + 10
t = 50
Therefore a viable solution is (10, 50)
EXPLANATION FOR WHY OTHER OPTIONS ARE WRONG:
- The graph is continuous.
This is WRONG because this function only allows the values of c to be only certain points in the interval (only positive integers). Therefore, it is a discrete function.
- A viable solution is (–2, 38)
This is WRONG because the -2 is a negative integer, and the value of c cannot be a negative integer.
- A viable solution is (0.5, 40.5)
This is WRONG because 0.5 is not an integer, and all values of t must also be positive integers.
