Entomologists have discovered that a linear relationship exists between the rate of chirping of crickets of a certain species and the air temperature. When the temperature is \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), the crickets chirp at the rate of 120 chirps/min, and when the temperature is \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), they chirp at the rate of 160 chirps/min. a. Find an equation giving the relationship between the air temperature \(T\) and the number of chirps/min \(N\) of the crickets. b. Find \(N\) as a function of \(T\) and use this formula to determine the rate at which the crickets chirp when the temperature is \(102^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\).
The equation \(W=3.51 L-192\), expressing the relationship between the length \(L\) (in feet) and the expected weight \(W\) (in British tons) of adult blue whales, was adopted in the late \(1960 \mathrm{~s}\) by the International Whaling Commission. a. What is the expected weight of an 80 -ft blue whale? b. Sketch the straight line that represents the equation.
Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given condition. \text { The line passing through }(-3,4) \text { and parallel to the } x \text { -axis }
Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why it is true. If it is false, give an example to show why it is false. If \(p=m x+b\) is a linear demand curve, then it is generally true that \(m<0\).
For each supply equation, where \(x\) is the quantity supplied in units of 1000 and \(p\) is the unit price in dollars, (a) sketch the supply curve and (b) determine the number of units of the commodity the supplier will make available in the market at the given unit price. $$ p=2 x+10 ; p=14 $$
