Question 1074574: A haddock has a length of 21 centimeters. Use Bertalanffy�s equation to predict, to the nearest tenth of a year, the age of the haddock. Assume m =94 centimeters, Lo =0.6 centimeter, and r =0.21.
L = m - (m - Lo)e^-rx

According to the question, we have:
21=94-(94-0.6)e^-rx
93.4e^-rx=73
e^-rx=0.781585
ln e^-rx=ln 0.781585
-0.21x=-0.24643190408640580783666309806954
x=1.173485257554313370650776657474 years as the age of the fish. ☺☺☺☺
