Beagles The daily energy requirements of female beagles who are at least 1 year old change with respect to time according to the function
where E(t) is the daily energy requirement (in kJ/W0.67), where W is the dog’s weight (in kilograms) for a beagle that is t years old. Source: Journal of Nutrition.
(a) Assuming 365 days in a year, show that the energy requirement for a female beagle that is t days old is given by
(b) Using the formula from part (a), determine the total energy requirements (in kJ/W0.67) for a female beagle between her first and third birthday.
