Growth in Length of Haddock D.S. Raitt found that the length L of haddock in centimeters as a function of the age t in years is given approximately by the formula
a. Calculate
b. Compare the average yearly rate of growth in length from age 5 to age 10 years with the average yearly rate of growth from age 15 to age 20 years. Explain in practical terms what this tells you about the way haddock grow.
c. What is the longest haddock you would expect to find anywhere?

- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardThe half-life of plutonium-244 is 80,000,000 years.
