(4/3) 4. A biologist uses the formula E = k m^3 E = km to model the relationship between the mass of a bird's egg, E [grams], and the mass of the bird, m [grams]. The number k is a constant that is close to 0.1 for healthy eggs. a. A ruby-throated hummingbird has a mass of 3.4 g. What is the mass of its egg? b. An ostrich egg has a mass of 1.4 kg. What is the mass of the mother bird? c. A 7.3-kg whooping crane lays an egg whose mass is 208 g. Does this bird appear to be healthy? Explain.
