A certain kind of ant can also be used as a thermometer. USE the formula to complete this table off values. T= 11s+ 39
S= speed in inches per minute
T= temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
S= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 now I got these answers for the temps
T= 40, 61, 72, 83, 94 am I right????
Next
If a cricket chirps 108 times per minute, what is the approximate speed of the ant?????
I am lost ??? Please help me
I think you are referring to one of your other posts.
Whatever that was, plug 108 in for the chirps, then use that answer in the function you have in this question.
Was the first problem right?
And thank you for your help
Not sure how to do
Either 113
Or 306
Both sound impossible
From your previous post, for a number of chirps of 108, you got the temperature of 64, which I agreed was correct
so now your new relation is Temp = 11(speed) + 39, so ....
64 = 11speed + 39
25 = 11 speed
speed = 25/11 or appr 2.27 inches/minute
How dumb am I. Guess I needed in black and white.
Thank you
To complete the table of values using the given formula T = 11s + 39, we can substitute the values of S (speed in inches per minute) and calculate the corresponding values of T (temperature in degrees Fahrenheit).
Let's plug in the values of S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into the formula T = 11s + 39:
- For S = 1:
T = 11(1) + 39 = 11 + 39 = 50
- For S = 2:
T = 11(2) + 39 = 22 + 39 = 61
- For S = 3:
T = 11(3) + 39 = 33 + 39 = 72
- For S = 4:
T = 11(4) + 39 = 44 + 39 = 83
- For S = 5:
T = 11(5) + 39 = 55 + 39 = 94
So, based on the given formula, the correct values for T (temperature) would be:
T = 40, 61, 72, 83, 94
You got the answers correct!
Next, if a cricket chirps 108 times per minute and we want to find the approximate speed of the ant, we can rearrange the formula T = 11s + 39 to solve for s:
T = 11s + 39 [Rearrange the formula]
T - 39 = 11s [Subtract 39 from both sides]
s = (T - 39) / 11 [Divide both sides by 11]
Now we can substitute T = 108 into the formula to find the approximate speed of the ant:
s = (108 - 39) / 11
s = 69 / 11
s ≈ 6.27
So, the approximate speed of the ant would be around 6.27 inches per minute.
