Answer: Galloping Speeds of Animals Four-legged animals

Chapter 5, Problem 5.4.41

(choose chapter or problem)

Galloping Speeds of Animals Four-legged animals run with two different types of motion: trotting and galloping. An animal that is trotting has at least one foot on the ground at all times, whereas an animal that is galloping has all four feet off the ground at some point in its stride. The number of strides per minute at which an animal breaks from a trot to a gallop depends on the weight of the animal. Use the table and the method of Example 10 to find an equation that relates an animals weight x (in pounds) and its lowest galloping speed y (in strides per minute).Weight, x 25 35 50Galloping Speed, y 191.5 182.7 173.8Weight, x 75 500 1000Galloping Speed, y 164.2 125.9 114.2
