A rat has a birth mass of $8 \mathrm{g},$ and when fully grown its mass is 280 g. Using equation $(1.1 .26)$ with $a=0.25$ determine how many days it will take for the rat to reach $75 \%$ of its fully grown size.
$T\cong 139.9$ days

for the set up of this problem. We have a rodent with the birth mass off eight grams. We know that this adult will have a mass of 280 grams. We're going to use this model to find the time needed to reach 75% of the adult mass. When a is set to be equal to 0.25 to start out, let's start assigning what the variables it should be uppercase m that appears here is the adult mass. So that would be 280 grams in this problem. The next symbol is m not I m not is going to be the birth mass. So that's eight grams. In this situation, we have the variable a given to be 0.25 here and if we say t it is time to reach 75% of adult mass, that would then mean that M A T should be 0.75 times 280 so m of tea would be equal to 210 grams. This tells us our goal is to solve M of tea equals 210 14. Once we found this expression for tea will have solved this problem. So let's start out by making a substitution ample sides of this model, so we'll have 210 on the left hand side is equal to uppercase M, which is given to be 280 grams times one minus one minus. I am not, which is eight grams. Divide by uppercase M or 280 Alta power of 1/4 times the Basie exponential to the power of negative A or negative 0.25 times T divide by the quantity four times uppercase m or four times 280 to the power of 1/4 and the entire quantity, once again to the power of four. To solve this equation for tea will be using the order of operations to simplify each of these quantities. Step by step pushed out. Let's start out with this quantity. Here we can say on the next step that 210 is going to be equal to 280 times the quantity. One minus zero point 5889 times the Basie exponential And let's do on the next step, the simplification of negative 0.25 Divide by this quantity in our calculator that would turn into the quantity negative 0.1 52 nine times T Well, once again raised to the power of four. What we can do in the next step is divide both sides by this quantity to 80. So that will take to 10 divide by 2 80 We also know that from this expression here that should result in 0.75 So now we have 0.75 equals one minus 0.5889 times E to the power of negative is your a 0.15 to 90 all raised to power for on the very next step, we can take the fourth root of both sides Know the words and my calculator, or raise your 0.75 to power 1/4 raising the right hand side to power. 1/4 gives a cancellation of this outer exponents with the 1/4 next in my calculator, 0.75 to the 1/4 power or the four through to that quantity is 0.93 06 which is now set equal to one minus 0.5 89 Times e to the power negative. 0.152 nine Times t. Next, we can subtract one from both sides of this equation. If we do that. Left hand side is negative. 0.6 939 which is equal to negative zero point 5889 either the power of negative 0.15 to 9 t for next step. Let's divide both sides of this equation. By that coefficient upon that division will now obtain zero point 1178 equals e to the power negative zero point 015 to 9 t for this exponential equation. If we take the natural laudable sides, then the Basie exponential would be cancelled. So first, the natural log of zero point 1178 turns into negative 2.1384 Taking the natural log of the right hand side cancels the Basie. So we have just the exponents negative 0.15 to 9 t. Finally, we can solve this equation by dividing by the coefficient of tea. So we will obtain that T is approximately equal to 139.9 days. In other words, using the provided my bottle with that provide information, we know that this rodent will reach 75% of its adult mass in just about 240 days.
