Biologists have noticed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 113 chirps per minute at 70°F and 163 chirps per minute at 80°F. (a) Find a linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A cricket produces 113 chirps per minute at 70°F and 163 chirps per minute at 80°F.

Let T be the temperature and N be the number of chirps, then the linear equation can be written as:

where a and b are constants.

T = 70, N = 113

T = 80, N = 163

Solving the two equation by elimination, method, we have,

Thus, linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N is:

1699/ 8548

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
