Chapter 3: Q. 3.38 (page 267)
The equation is used to estimate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T, based on the number of cricket chirps, n, in one minute.
鈸 Estimate the temperature when there are no chirps.
鈸 Estimate the temperature when the number of chirps in one minute is 100.
鈸 Interpret the slope and T-intercept of the equation.
鈸 Graph the equation.
Short Answer
鈸40 degrees
鈸65 degrees
鈸扵he slope, , means that the temperature Fahrenheit (F) increases 1 degree when the number of chirps, n, increases by 4. The T-intercept means that when the number of chirps is 0, the temperature is 40掳.
鈸 Graph of the equation
