Question

In 2004, it was reported that "the relationship between body mass,M , and standard metabolic rate,B , among living organisms remains controversial. However, in many cases is B approximately proportional to the three-quarters power of M ."
(a) Write a function that represents this relationship. If you must introduce a new variable, use k .
B=

anonymous · Answer

$$B   \alpha  M ^{3/4}  $$  
=> Eliminating sign of proportaionality  we introduce constant k. 
$$B =kM ^{3/4}$$
