Growth of a blue whale Newborn blue whales are approximately 24 feet long and weigh 3 tons. Young whales are nursed for 7 months, and by the time of weaning they often are 53 feet long and weigh 23 tons. Let L and W denote the length (in feet) and the weight (in tons), respectively, of a whale that is t months of age.
(a) If L and t are linearly related, express L in terms of t.
(b) What is the daily increase in the length of a young whale? (Use 1 month =30 days.)
(c) If W and t are linearly related, express W in terms of t.
(d) What is the daily increase in the weight of a young whale?
