Question

The approximate amount of calories, c, that a dog needs each day is represented by C=72M^3/4, with m being the dog's weight in KG. How many calories would a 64 kg dog need? (Radicals and Rational Exponents)

Answer 1

To find the calories required for a 64 kg dog, we can substitute the value of m in the equation:

C = 72 * (64)^(3/4)
C = 72 * 4^(3/4) * (64)^(1/4)
C = 72 * 4^(3/4) * 2^6
C = 72 * 8 * 2^6
C = 576 * 2^6
C = 576 * 64
C = 37,248 calories

So, a 64 kg dog needs approximately 37,248 calories per day
