- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Milk Consumption The average individual daily milk consumption for herds of Charolaise, Angus, and Hereford calves can be by the function. M(t)=6.281t0.242e0.025t, 1t26 Where M(t) is the milk consumption in kilograms and t is the age of the calf in weeks. Source: Animal Production. a. Find the time in which the maximum daily consumption occurs and the maximum daily consumption. b. If the general formula for this model is given by M(t)=atbect Find the time where the maximum consumption occurs and the maximum consumption.Hint: Express your answer in terms of a ,b and c.arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Metabolic Rate The basal metabolic rate in kcal/day for large anteaters is given by y=f(x)=19.7x0.753, where x is the anteaters weight in kilograms. Source: Wild-life Feeding and Nutrition. a. Find the basal metabolic rate for anteaters with the following weights. i. 5kg ii. 25kg b. Suppose the anteaters weight is given in pounds rather than kilograms. Given that 1lb=0.454kg, find a function x=g(z) giving the anteaters weight in kilograms if z is the animals weight in pounds. c. Write the basal metabolic rate as a function of the weight in pounds in the form y=azb by calculating f(g(z)).arrow_forward
