The harmonic mean of two numbers a and b is the reciprocals of the average of the inverses of the two numbers: ab a+b a The two rates are a per-unit-mass rate R1 at which individuals acquire resources, and a per-unit-mass rate R, at which individuals convert those resources into new individuals; that is, P = R¡R2 R1+R2 Assuming both Rị and R2 are the following allometric functions of body mass measure in kilograms R1 = 2M³/4 and R2 = 4M¯1/4, find the body mass M that maximizes the reproductive power P, M = kg.arrow_forwardIdentify the following underlined quantitative variables as discrete or continuous.
