The Challenger Disaster After the Challenger disaster in 1986, a study was made of the 23 launches that preceded the fatal flight. A mathematical model was developed involving the relationship between the Fahrenheit temperature x around the O-rings and the number y of eroded or leaky primary O-rings. The model stated that where the number 6 indicates the 6 primary O-rings on the spacecraft. What is the predicted number of eroded or leaky primary O-rings at a temperature of 100F? (b) What is the predicted number of eroded or leaky primary O-rings at a temperature of 60F? (c) What is the predicted number of eroded or leaky primary O-rings at a temperature of 30F? (d) Graph the equation using a graphing utility. At what temperature is the predicted number of eroded or leaky O-rings 1? 3? 5?
