SOLUTION: The relationship between the mass (m) in kilograms of an organism and its metabolism P in calories per day can be represented by P = 73.3 (the 4th square root of m to the third pow

Question 1061612: The relationship between the mass (m) in kilograms of an organism and its metabolism P in calories per day can be represented by P = 73.3 (the 4th square root of m to the third power). Find the mass of an organism that has a metabolism of 586.4 calories per day.
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P=73.3*m^(3/4)
586.4=73.3 m^(3/4)
m^(3/4)=8
raise both sides to the 4/3 power
8^4/3 is cube root of 8 (2) raised to the 4th power, or 16.
m=16 kg.
