The circulation time of a mammal (the average time it takes for all the blood in the body to circulate once and return to the he

art) is proportional to the fourth root of the body mass of the mammal. Circulation time, T, is measured in seconds and body mass, m, is measured in kilograms.
(a) If the proportionality constant is 17.4, write a formula for the circulation time of a mammal. Use a lower case m.

(b) The body mass of a growing child is 38 kg and is increasing at a rate of 0.2 kg/month. What is the rate of change of the circulation time of the child? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

T=17.4\sqrt[4]{m}
Differentiate with respect to time s:
\frac{dT}{ds}=\frac{17.4}{4m^{3/4}}\frac{dm}{ds}
⇒\frac{dT}{ds}=\frac{4.35}{m^{3/4}}\frac{dm}{ds}
Plug in m=38 and \frac{dm}{ds}=0.2:
\frac{dT}{ds}=\frac{4.35}{38^{3/4}}*0.2
⇒\frac{dT}{ds}≈0.057 sec/month

Answer:

(a) T=17.4\sqrt[4]{m}

(b) 0.057 sec/month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T is the circulation time of a mammal in seconds and m is the body mass in kilograms.

It is given that the circulation time of a mammal is proportional to the fourth root of the body mass of the mammal.

T\propto \sqrt[4]{m}

T=k\sqrt[4]{m}

where k is constant of proportionality.

(a) The proportionality constant is 17.4. So, the circulation time of a mammal is

T=17.4\sqrt[4]{m}

(b)

The above equation can be written as

T=17.4m^{\frac{1}{4}}

Differentiate with respect to time t.

\frac{dT}{dt}=17.4(\frac{1}{4}m^{\frac{1}{4}-1}\frac{dm}{dt})

\frac{dT}{dt}=4.35m^{-\frac{3}{4}}\frac{dm}{dt}

Substitute m=38 and \frac{dm}{dt}=0.2 in the above equation.

\frac{dT}{dt}=4.35(38)^{-\frac{3}{4}}(0.2)

\frac{dT}{dt}=0.0568436

\frac{dT}{dt}\approx 0.057

Therefore, the rate of change of the circulation time of the child is 0.057 sec/month.

tangare [24]

Answer:

  (3)  y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the equation not to change, the point (0, 0) must be on the original line and so on the line after dilation. The only equation with (0, 0) as a point on the line is y=4x.

Dilation about the origin moves all points away from the origin some multiple of their distance from the origin. If a point is on the origin, it doesn't move. We call that point the "invariant" point of the transformation. For the equation of the line not to change, the invariant point must be on the line to start with.
