Table 11* lists data for the enzyme invertase treated with the substrate sucrose. We want to model these data with a Michaelis-Menten function.

(A) Plot the points in Table 11 on graph paper and estimate Vmax to the nearest integer. To estimate KM, add the horizontal line v = Vmax/2 to your graph, connect successive points on the graph with straight-line segments, and estimate the value of s (to the nearest integer) that
satisfies v(s) = Vmax/2.
(B) Use the constants Vmax and KM from part (A) to form a Michaelis - Menten function for the data in Table 11.
(C) Use the function from part (B) to estimate the velocity of the enzyme reaction when the sucrose is 9 and to estimate the sucrose when the velocity is 32.
