(Requires technology to create best-fit functions.) The following data at the top of the next column shows the average growth of the human embryo prior to birth. a. Plot weight (on vertical axis) vs. age (on horizontal axis). Then use technology to find the best-fit quadratic model to approximate the data. b. According to your model, what would an average 32-week-old embryo weigh? c. Comment on the domain for which your formula is reliable. d. Plot length versus age; then use technology to construct an appropriate mathematical model for the length as a function of embryo age from 20 to 40 weeks. e. Using your model, compute the age at which an embryo would be 42.5 centimeters long.
