- Arctic Foxes The age-weight relationship of female Arctic foxes caught in Svalbard, Norway, can be estimated by the function Mt=3102e-e-0.022t-56, where t is the age of the fox in days and Mt is the weight of the fox in grams. Source: Journal of Mammalogy. a. Estimate the weight of a female fox that is 200 days old. b. Use Mt to estimate the largest size that a female fox can attain. Hint: Find limtMt. c. Estimate the age of a female fox when it has reached 80% of its maximum weight. d. Estimate the rate of change in weight of an Arctic fox that is 200 days old. Hint: Recall that Dteft=f'teft. e. Using a graphing calculator to graph Mt and then describe the growth pattern. f. Use the table function on a graphing calculator or a spreadsheet to develop a chart that shows the estimated weight and growth rate of female foxes for days 50,100,150,200,250, and 300.arrow_forwardBreast Cancer Growth Researchers used a version of the Gompertz curve to model the growth of breast cancer tumors with the equation N(t)=ec(1ekt) where N(t) is the number of cancer cells after t days, c=27.3 and k=0.011. Find the inflection point and describe what it signifies.
