Question

let f(v) be the amount of energy consumed by a flying bird (joules/sec), as a function of its speed v (meters/sec). Let a(v) be the amount of energy consumed by the bird in (joules/meter)

a) where is a(v) a minimum?

Answer 1

f(v) = ??? J/s
v = ??m/s
a(v) = ??? J/m

f(v)/v = (j/s)/(m/s)

= j/m = a(v)

Answer 2

im very very uncertian about that.. lol

but i believe a(v) in smallest when v is really really big or when f(v) is really really small?

honestly i would rely on this tho cause im not very sure
