An investigator has reported the data tabulated below for an experiment to determine the growth rate of bacteria k (per d) as a function of oxygen concentration c (mg/L). It is known that such data can be modeled by the following equation:

where cs and kmax are parameters. Use a transformation to linearize this equation. Then use linear regression to estimate cs and kmax and predict the growth rate at c = 2 mg/L.
