In a Science class experiment, the population of insects increases according to the law of exponential growth. There were 150 insects after the fourth day of the experiment and 395 insects after one week. a. Approximately, how many insects were in the original population? b. Compute the number of insects after 10 days.

The outside temperature can be estimated based on how fast crickets chirp. At 104 chirps per minute, the temperature is 6363 °F. At 176 chirps per minute, the temperature is 8181 °F. Using this information, you can make a formula that relates chirp rate to temperature. Assume the relationship is linear, that is the points form a straight line when plotted on a graph. What is the temperature if you hear 140140 chirps per minute? °F°F What is the temperature if you hear 7676 chirps per minute?
