Entomologists are biological scientists who study insects. Entomologists studying tree
crickets have found that they chirp at different rates depending on the temperature.
The number of chirps per minute, C, that the tree cricket makes is linearly dependent on
the temperature, T, in Fahrenheit. The crickets do not chirp at all below 45 degrees and
at 85 degrees they chirp about 144 times per minute.
A) Express the number of chirps, C, as a function of the temperature, T. Be sure to use
function notation.
B) How many chirps per minute will crickets make at 100 degrees?
