Solving Basic Equations
Pronghorn Fawns The field metabolic rate (FMR), or the total energy expenditure per day in excess of growth, can be calculated for pronghorn fawns using Nagy's formula, $$F(x)=0.774+0.727 \log x,$$ where $x$ is the mass (in grams) of the fawn and $F(x)$ is the energy expenditure (in kJ/day). Source: Animal Behavior. $\begin{array}{l}{\text { (a) Determine the total energy expenditure per day in excess of }} \\ {\text { growth for a pronghorn fawn that weighs } 25,000 \mathrm{g} .} \\ {\text { (b) Find } F^{\prime}(25,000) \text { and interpret the result. }} \\ {\text { (c) Graph the function on }[5000,30,000] \text { by }[3,5] \text { . }}\end{array}$

It has been shown that the home range, in hectares, of a carnivorous mammal weighing w grams can be approximated by $H(w)=0.11 w^{1.36}.$ (Source: Based on information in Emlen, J. M., Ecology: An Evolutionary Approach, p. 200, Reading, MA: AddisonWesley, $1973 ;$ and Harestad, $A$. S., and Bunnel, $\mathrm{F}$. . " Home Range and Body Weight- - $\Lambda$ Recvaluation," Ecology, Vol. $60, \text { No. } 2, \text { pp. } 389-402 .)$ a) Find the average rate at which a carnivorous mammals home range increases as the animal's weight grows Irom $500 \mathrm{g}$ to $700 \mathrm{g}.$ b) Find $\frac{H(300)-H(200)}{300-200},$ and interpret this result.
