Allometric relations often can be modeled by ​f(x)= x^b​, where a and b are constants. One study showed that for a male fiddler

crab weighing over 0.75​ gram, the weight of its claws can be estimated by ​f(x)= 0.448 x^1.21. The input x is the weight of the crab in​ grams, and the output​ f(x) is the weight of the claws in grams.
(a) Predict the weight of the claws of a 2-gram crab

(b) Approximate the weight of a crab that has 0.5-gram claws

Answer:

a) f(2)= 0.448 (2)^{1.21}= 1.036 grams

b) 0.5 = 0.448 x^{1.21}

Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

\frac{0.5}{0.448} = x^{1.21}

We can appy the exponent \frac{1}{1.21} in both sides of the equation and we got:

(\frac{0.5}{0.448})^{\frac{1}{1.21}} = x= 1.095grams

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following function:

f(x) = 0.448 x^{1.21}

The notation is: x is the weight of the crab in​ grams, and the output​ f(x) is the weight of the claws in grams.

Part a

For this case we just need to replace x = 2 gram in the function and we got:

f(2)= 0.448 (2)^{1.21}= 1.036 grams

Part b

For this case we know tha value for f(x) =0.5 and we want to find the value of x who satisfy this condition:

0.5 = 0.448 x^{1.21}

Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

\frac{0.5}{0.448} = x^{1.21}

We can appy the exponent \frac{1}{1.21} in both sides of the equation and we got:

(\frac{0.5}{0.448})^{\frac{1}{1.21}} = x= 1.095grams

Find the height of a cylinder with radius 25 cm and surface area 8953.54 cm2.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Find the height of a cylinder with radius 25 cm and surface area 8953.54 cm².

O = 2·pi·r^2 + 2·pi·r·h --> h = O/(2·pi·r) - r = 8953.54/(2·pi·25) - 25 = 32.00 cm

Since BC is parallel to DE, triangles ABC and ADE are similar. What are the lengths of the unknown sides?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option D. AC= 10 cm and CE= 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure two triangles ΔABC and ΔADE are similar and two lines BC║DE.

From these similar triangles we know

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{BC}{DE}=\frac{AC}{AE}

\frac{8}{12}=\frac{BC}{9}=\frac{AC}{AE}

Therefore \frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}

Or AC=\frac{2}{3}AE

Now from pythagoras theorem

AE = √(AD²+ED²) = √(12²+9²) = √(144+81) =√225 = 15 cm

Since we know side AC = \frac{2}{3}AE

                                        = \frac{2}{3}\times 15

                                        = 10 cm

Therefore AC = 10 cm and AE = 15cm and CE = (15-10) = 5 cm

Lydia is making spaghetti sauce at a community luncheon. Each batch requires 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt, 1⁄3 teaspoon of oregano, 1⁄4
Troyanec [42]

Salt is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Required spices are......

Salt = \frac{1}{2} teaspoon , Oregano = \frac{1}{3} teaspoon, Crushed thyme = \frac{1}{4} teaspoon and Black peeper = \frac{1}{8} teaspoon

For finding the largest quantity, first we need to make the denominators of each fraction as equal and then identify the largest numerator.  

The denominators are 2, 3, 4 and 8 and their LCM(Least common multiple) will be 24. So.....

\frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*12}{2*12}=\frac{12}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*8}{3*8}=\frac{8}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*6}{4*6}=\frac{6}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{8}=\frac{1*3}{8*3}=\frac{3}{24}

As the largest numerator is 12 here, so the value of \frac{1}{2} is largest among all the fractions.

Thus, <u>Salt</u> is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.
