The weight of a laboratory mouse between 3 and 11 weeks of age can be modeled as w(t) = 11.8 + 7.36 ln t grams where the age of the mouse is t + 2 weeks. (a) What is the weight of a 6-week-old mouse? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) grams How rapidly is its weight changing? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) grams per week (b) What is the average rate of change in the weight of the mouse between ages 7 and 11 weeks? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) grams per week

Growth of a baby. The median weight of a boy whose age is between 0 and 36 months can be approximated by the function $w(t)=8.15+1.82 t-0.0596 t^{2}+0.000758 t^{3}$ where $t$ is measured in months and $w$ is measured in pounds. Use this approximation to find the following for a boy with median weight: a) The rate of change of weight with respect to time. b) The weight of the baby at age 10 months. c) The rate of change of the baby's weight with respect to time at age 10 months.
