A dog owner observes that from birth to age 14 weeks, the puppy’s weight can be modelled by the equation w=365×(1.23)t , for (0≤ t≤14), (1) Write down the scale factor, and use this to find the percentage increase in the weight each week.
(2) Use the law of logs to find the age at which the puppy will weigh 4000 grams.
1 answer:
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Scale factor is a constant value that multiplies another value. For a puppy's weight, scale factor is 1.23.
The percentage growth is
1.23 = 1 + 0.23
Percentage is 0.23 or 23%.
(2) Equation for increase is
When w = 4000g:
Using the log law:
t.log(1.23) = log(10.96)
0.08990t = log(10.96)
t = 11.56
The puppy will weigh 4000 grams in 11 and half weeks or between 11 and 12 weeks.

Solution
The range is defined as:
Range = Max - Min
For this case we can conclude that the best solution would be:
B, C
I think you have to combine like terms to solve this one. (6d - 3d) + (5 - 2) = 3d + 3
area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
