According to wildlife experts, the rate at which crickets chirp per minute is a function of the temperature in degrees Fahrenhei

t. James observed that when the temp was 60 degrees, there were 84 chirps and when the temp was 85 degrees, there were 184 chirps. Write a linear function to model the relationship between the number of chirps and the temperature.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will let the x coordinates be the temp and the y coordinates by the number of chirps. Our coordinates then will look like this:

(60, 84) and (85, 184). If this is linear, then first we will find the slope of the line which will tell us, in the context of this problem, how many chirps a cricket gives per 1 degree of temp increase.

The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and filling in our numbers:

m=\frac{184-84}{85-60}=\frac{100}{25}= 4

This means that for every 1 degree temp increase, a cricket will give 4 chirps. That's the m value in y = mx + b. Now we will pick one of the coordinates, doesn't matter which one, and use those x and y values in the point-slope form of a line to get the equation. I will choose (60, 85), just because. Using the other point will give you the exact same line equation, I PROMISE!

Using 85 as y1 and 60 as x1 in

y - y1 = m(x - x1) gives us

y - 85 = 4(x - 60) and

y - 85 = 4x - 240 and

y = 4x - 240 + 85 and

y = 4x - 155

g Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that thefollowing random variables can take on:(a) the maximu
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

(a) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume each roll can result in the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

(a) If both rolls result in a 1, the maximum value is 1. If either roll results in a 6, the maximum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(b) If either roll results in a 1, the minimum value is 1. If both rolls result in a 6, the minimum value is 6; all integers between 1 and 6 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) If both rolls result in a 1, the sum is 2. If both rolls results in a 6, the sum is 12; all integers between 2 and 12 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(d) If the first roll results in a 1 and the second results in a 6, the result is -5. On the other hand, if the first roll results in a 6 and the second results in a 1, the result is 5; all integers between -5 and 5 are also possible. Therefore, the possible values are:

D = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

There is a population of 5,000 bacteria in a colony. If the number of bacteria doubles every 37 minutes, what will the populatio
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

If there are 5000 bacteria in a colony right now, there will be  5000x2, or 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes.

If there are 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes, there will be 20000 bacteria in the colony in 74 minutes, as the bacteria doubles every 34 minutes.

Answer:

  4/5 acre

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your allocations are ...

  goats: 3/5 acre

  pigs: 1/5 acre

  llamas: 2/5 acre

2 acres is 10/5 acres, so the remaining area is ...

  10/5 -3/5 -1/5 -2/5 = (10 -3 -1 -2)/5 = 4/5

4/5 acre is allocated to horses.
