The basal metabolic rate (in kcal/day) for large anteaters is given by y = (x) = 19.7x
Question:
The basal metabolic rate (in kcal/day) for large anteaters is given by
y = ƒ(x) = 19.7x0.753,
where x is the anteater’s weight in kilograms.*
(a) Find the basal metabolic rate for anteaters with the following weights.
(i) 5 kg
(ii) 25 kg
(b) Suppose the anteater’s weight is given in pounds rather than kilograms. Given that 1 lb = 0.454 kg, find a function x = g(z) giving the anteater’s weight in kilograms if z is the animal’s weight in pounds.
(c) Write the basal metabolic rate as a function of the weight in pounds in the form y = azb by calculating ƒ(g(z)).†
