The daily cost to a printer is modeled by the function C(x) = 4x + 1400 where C(x) is the total daily cost and is the number of copies printed. Find C(7000), and interpret its meaning. C(7000) | Enter an integer or decimal number [more..] This value represents O The product of the daily cost and the number of copies O The number of copies manufactured when the daily cost is 7000 O The daily cost when 7000 copies are printed Check Answer masa Σ

Arctic Foxes The age/weight relationship of male Arctic foxes caught in Svalbard, Norway, can be estimated by the function --0.020(1-66) M(1) = 3583e where t is the age of the fox in days and M(t) is the weight of the fox in grams. Source: Journal of Mammology. (a) Estimate the weight of a male fox that is 250 days old. (b) Use M(t) to estimate the largest size that a male fox can attain. (Hìnt: Find lim M(t).) (c) Estimate the age of a male fox when it has reached 50% of its maximum weight. (d) Estimate the rate of change in weight of a male Arctic fox that is 250 days old. (Hint: Recall that D,e) = f'(1)e().) (e) Use a graphing calculator to graph M(t) and then describe the growth pattern. (f) Use the table function on a graphing calculator or a spread- sheet to develop a chart that shows the estimated weight and growth rate of male foxes for days 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300.
