Question:
Rainbow trout are sensitive to zinc ions in the water. High concentrations are lethal. The average survival times x in minutes for trout in various concentrations of zinc ions y in mil- ligrams per liter (mg/L) are listed in the table.
(a) These data can be modeled by f(x) = axb, where a and b are constants. Determine an appropriate value for a.
(b) Estimate b.
(c) Evaluate f(4) and interpret the result.
