If the recommended adult dosage for a drug is D (in mg), then to determine the appropriate dosage c for a child of age a, pharmacists use the equation c = 0.0417D(a + 1). Suppose the dosage for an adult is 50 mg. (a) Find the slope of the graph of c. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What does it represent? The slope represents the of the dosage for a child for each change of 1 year in age. (b) What is the dosage for a newborn? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) mg

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. (i) A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Points B and D are 10 km apart. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.2 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? km from B (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized, determine a function for the ratio WL in terms of x, the distance from B to C. W/L = (c) What should the value of W/L be in order for the bird to fly directly to its nesting area D? (d) If the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the shore at a point 2 km from B, how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land?

Biologists have noticed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 113 chirps per minute at 70∘F and 153 chirps per minute at 80∘F. (a) Find a linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N. T = (b) What is the slope of the graph? What does it represent? The slope means that the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees increases as rapidly as the number of cricket chirps per minute. (c) If the crickets are chirping at 200 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ∘F
