Question

In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is f=14c+40, where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Which statements are true? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires a list of options.

Since, there are none; I'll give a general explanation to answer this.

We have that:

$f = 14c + 40$

The general format of an equation in terms of f and c is:

$f = mc + b$

Where

$m = slope$ and $b = y\ intercept$

A true statement about the function above is:

The slope of the equation is 14

This means that at every minute, there's an additional 14 chirps from the cricket.

Another true statement about the function is that:

The y intercept is 40.

This means that the initial number of chirps by the cricket is 40

i.e. At time, c = 0 minutes.

There are 40 chirps.

A likely question could be to determine the number of chirps in (say) 5 minutes.

This means that:

$c= 5$

Substitute 5 for c in $f = 14c + 40$

$f = 14 * 5 + 40$

$f = 70 + 40$

$f = 110$

This implies there are 110 chirps in 5 minutes

Answer 2

Answer:

:)

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you men 1/4 because I have the same problem

f=1/4c+40

f=1/4(110)+40

f=27 1/2 +40

f=67 1/2
