Dr. Marina Silva, in the Journal of Mammalogy (1998), gives the following formula for the approximate body length of mammals based on the mammal's body mass
L(M)-0.330/M.
where L(M) represents the body length in meters of a mammal with a body mass of M kilograms.
(a) Use this model to estimate the body length of a mammal with a body mass of 4.1 kg. (Round your answer to the nearest thousandth of a meter. Include units in your answer. More
information.)
The length of a mammal with a body mass of 4.1 kg will be [
(b) Use this model to estimate the body length of a mammal with a body mass of 34 kg. (Round your answer to the nearest thousandth of a meter. Include units in your answer. More
Information.)
The length of a mammal with a body mass of 34 kg will be
(c) If this model is valid for mammals with body masses only between 0.01 and 250 kg, including 0.01 and 250 kg, what is the model's range?
(0.071, 2.079)
[0.071, 2.146]
(0.010, 250)
[0.071, 2.079]
[0.010, 250]
(d) Estimate numerically the body mass of a mammal with a body length of 1 meter. (Round your answer to the nearest thousandth of a kilogram. Include units in your answer. More
Information.)
The body mass of a mammal with a body length of 1 meter is
