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 35 degrees and at 65 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 75 degrees?
