Biologists have found that the number of chirps some types of cricket make per minute depends upon the temperature this relation

ship can be represented by a linear function when the temperature is 60° Fahrenheit to crickets chirp 92 times per minute if it is 75 Fahrenheit they will chirp 152 times per minute what will the number of chirps be per minute if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer: Crickets make 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Using the point slope formulae for Linear functions , we have that

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where x  and y are two points  representing the  temperature and chirps /min respectively

And  

m= slope

Step 2 : Finding the slope , m

where x1=60

           y1=92

           x2= 75

           y2=152

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (152- 92)/(75-60)

=60/15 =4

Bringing down the point/slope formula and imputing the known values to find our equation to show the relationship cricket make per minute and  the temperature

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 92= 4(x - 60)

y - 92 = 4x -240

y = 4x - 240 + 92

y = 4x - 148

Step 3

To find the number of chirps be per minute (y) if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit( x)

y = 4(80) - 160

y = 320 - 148

y = 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Why do two negatives equal a positive when adding?
alex41 [277]
Two negatives <em>do not </em>equal a positive when adding. If you're in debt and you add more debt, does that get you out of debt?

Two negatives <em>do </em>equal a positive when you're multiplying them together though. This makes sense if you imagine multiplication as squishing or stretching a particular number on the number line. For example, imagine multiplying 2 x 1/2 as <em>squishing </em>the number 2 two times closer to 0. When you multiply 2 by a negative number, say, -1, you squish it so far down that you <em>flip it to the negative side of the number line</em>, bringing it to -2. You can imagine a similar thing happening if you multiply a number like -4 by -2. You squish -4 down to zero, and then <em>flip it to the positive side</em> and stretch it by a factor of 2, bringing it to 8.

Which expression is equivalent to √2x^5/18? Assume x &gt; 0.
lord [1]
\sqrt{\dfrac{2x^5}{18}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{18}\cdot x^2\cdot x^2\cdot x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot x^2\cdot x^2\cdot x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}}\cdot\sqrt{x^2}\cdot\sqrt{x^2}\cdot\sqrt{x}=\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot x\cdot x\cdot\sqrt{x}=\boxed{\dfrac{x^2\sqrt{x}}{3}}

Answer A.

Timothy evaluated the expression using x = 3<br> and y = –4.<br><br> xy-2<br> 3x2y−4
Leviafan [203]
The expression xy-2, when x=3 and y= -4, becomes    (3)(-4)-2, or -14 (answer)

the expresion 3x^2*y - 4 becomes 3(3)^2*(-4) - 4, or 27(-4) - 4, or -108 - 4 = -112 (answer)

Leave Timmy out of this, since it seems he didn't really do anything.    ;)
