Question

The approximate number of Calories, C , that an animal needs each day is given by C=72m^3/4 , where m is the animal's mass in kilograms. Find the number of Calories that a 16 kilogram dog needs each day.

Answer 1

Answer:

576 Calories a 16 kilogram dog needs each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate number of Calories, C , that an animal needs each day is given by $C=72m^{3/4}$ ,

where m is the animal's mass in kilograms.

now we find the number of Calories that a 16 kilogram dog needs each day.

we are given with m=16

So plug in 16 for m in the given equation

$C=72m^{3/4}\\C=72(16)^{3/4}\\C=72(2^4)^{3/4}\\C=72(2^3)\\C= 576$

576 Calories a 16 kilogram dog needs each day.
