Scientists have found that the life span of a mammal living in captivity is related to the mammals mass. The life span in years

L can be approximated by the formula L=12m^1/5, where m is the mammal's mass in kilograms. How much longer is the life span of a lion compared with that of a wolf?
wolf=32 kg
lion=243 kg

To know the life span of the wolf and the lion, we simply substitute their mass to the formula for L.

Mass of wolf:
L=12 m^{ \frac{1}{5} }= 12 (32)^{ \frac{1}{5} }=24

Mass of lion:
L=12 m^{ \frac{1}{5} }= 12 (243)^{ \frac{1}{5} }=36

Therefore, the wolf has a life span of 24 and the lion has a life span of 36. With this information, we can determine how much longer the life span of the lion is:
36-24=12

ANSWER: The life span of the lion is 12 longer than the life span of the wolf.

Solve for k, m = 3kx/7 - 9
kap26 [50]

Answer:

(7m + 63)/3x = k

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>m=3kx/7 - 9</em>

<u><em>add 9 to both sides:</em></u>

m+ 9 = 3kx/7

<u><em>multiply both sides by 7:</em></u>

7(m+9) = 3kx

<u><em>distribute the 7:</em></u>

7m+63 = 3kx

<u><em>divide both sides by 3x:</em></u>

<u>(7m + 63)/3x = k</u>

In the data set below, what is the mean absolute deviation?
lbvjy [14]

Add the numbers and divide by 5 to get a mean of 6.4

8 - 6.4 = 1.6

4 - 6.4 = -2.4

7 - 6.4 = 0.6

8 - 6.4 = 1.6

5 - 6.4 = -1.4

Add the absolute value of each: 1.6 + 2.4 + 0.6 + 1.6 + 1.4 = 7.6

Divide by 5 = 1.52
