Hookworms are parasitic nematodes that live in the intestines of a host. Hookworms do their damage (often fatally) by draining blood
from the intestinal wall. The data below correlate the number of hookworms and the amount of blood lost by that number of worms.

A students grade point average GPA for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)8=3.375. a Find a formula for the GPA of a student who earns a grade of A in a units of course work, B in b units, C in c units, D in d units and F in f units. b Find the GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two 3-unit courses, B in one 4-unit courses and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forward
- Ion Concentration The pH reading of a sample of each substance is given. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance. a Vinegar: pH=3.0 b Milk: pH=6.5arrow_forwardStock Turnover at Retail In retail sales, an important marker of retail activity is the stock turnover at retail. This figure is calculated for a specific period of time as the total net sales divided by the retail value of the average stock during that time, where both are measured in dollars. As a formula, this is written Stockturnover=NetsalesAveragestockatretail. This formula expresses stock turnover as a function of net sales and average stock at retail. a. Suppose that your store had net sales of 682, 000 in mens shoes over the past six months and that the retail value of the average stock of mens shoes was 163, 000. What was the stock turnover at retail for that time period? b. Suppose that in a certain month, your stores net sales of womens dresses were 83, 000 and that the usual stock turnover at retail is 0.8 per month. What do you estimate to be your stores average stock at retail? c. Solve the equation for average stock at retail- that is, write a formula giving average stock at retail as a function of stock turnover and net sales. d. Suppose that in a certain time period, your store had an average stock of socks with a retail value of 45, 000 and a stock turnover at retail of 1.6. What were the stores net sales of socks during that time period? e.

- The Kelvin Temperature Scale Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. In order to determine the relationship between the Fahrenheit and Kelvin temperature scales, a lab assistant put Fahrenheit and Kelvin thermometers side by side and took readings at various temperatures. The following data were recorded. K = kelvins F = degrees Fahrenheit 200 -99.67 220 -63.67 240 -27.67 260 8.33 280 44.33 300 80.33 a. Show that the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature K in kelvins. b. What is the slope of this linear function? Note: Be sure to take into account that the table lists kelvins in jumps of 20 rather than in jumps of 1. c. Find a formula for the linear function. d. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is that temperature in kelvins? e. If temperature increases by 1 kelvin, by how many degrees Fahrenheit does it increase? If temperature increases by 1 degree Fahrenheit, by how many kelvins does it increase? f. The temperature of 0 kelvins is known as absolute zero. It is not quite accurate to say that all molecular motion ceases at absolute zero, but at that temperature the system has its minimum possible total energy. It is thought that absolute zero cannot be attained experimentally, although temperatures lower than 0.0000001 kelvin have been attained. Find the temperature of absolute zero in degrees Fahrenheit.arrow_forwardPopulation Growth and Decline The table gives the population in a small coastal community for the period 1997-2006. Figures shown arc for January 1 in each year. (a) What was the average rate of change of population between 1998 and 2001? (b) What was the average rate of change of population between 2002 and 2004? (C) For what period of lime was the population increasing? (d) For what period of time was the population decreasing?arrow_forwardGrade Point Average In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale: A4 points B3 points C2 points D1 points F0 points For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit earns 43=12 grade points and grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A student’s grade point average (GPA) for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)/8=3.375 . (a) Find a formula for a GPA of a student who earns a grade A in a units of course work, B in b units; C in c units, D in d units, and F in f units. (b) Find a GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two-units courses. B in one 4-unit course, and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forward
- Grazing Kangaroos The amount of vegetation eaten in a day by a grazing animal V of food available measured as biomass, in units such as pounds per acre. This relationship is called the functional response. If there is little vegetation available, the daily intake will be small, since the animal will have difficulty finding and eating the food. As the amount of food biomass increases, so does the daily intake. Clearly, though, there is a limit to the amount the animal will eat, regardless of the amount of food available. This maximum amount eaten is the satiation level. a.For the western grey kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is G=2.54.8e0.004V, where G=G(V) is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Draw a graph of G against V. Include vegetation biomass levels up to 2000 pounds per acre. ii. Is the graph you found in part i concave up or concave down? Explain in practical terms what your answer means about how this kangaroo feeds. iii. There is a minimal vegetation biomass level below which the western grey kangaroo will eat nothing. Another way of expressing this is to say that the animal cannot reduce the food biomass below this level. Find this minimal level. iv. Find the satiation level for the western grey kangaroo. b. For the red kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is R=1.91.9e0.033V, Where R is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Add the graph of R against V to the graph of G you drew in part a. ii. A simple measure of the grazing efficiency of an animal involves the minimal vegetation biomass level described above: The lower the minimal level for an animal, the more efficient it is at grazing. Which is more efficient at grazing, the western grey kangaroo or the red kangaroo?arrow_forwardThe horsepower (Y, in bhp) of a motor car engine was measured at a chosen set of values of running speed (X, in rpm). The data are given below (the first row is the running speed in rpm and the second row is the horsepower in bhp): rpm 1100 1400 1700 2300 2700 3200 3500 4000 4600 5200 5600 6100 Horsepower (bhp) 50.2 64.29 67.83 98.56 131.09 163.65 161.55 198.62 226.03 254.71 283.63 299.81 The mean and sum of squares of the rpm are 3450.0000 rpm and 173900000.0000 rpm 22 respectively; the mean of the horsepower values is 166.6642 bhp and the sum of the products of the two variables is 8506152.0000 rpm bhp.
