Question

Accurate methods of estimating the age of gray wolves are important to scientists. One method of estimating the age of a gray wolf is to measure the percent closure of the pulp cavity of a canine tooth and then estimating age by A(p)= (1.181p)/(94.359-p)

a.) What is a sensible domain for this function?

b.) Use differentials to estimate the number of years it will take for a gray wolf that first measures a 60% closure to obtain a 60% closure.

c.) Compare this with the actual value of about 0.55 years and write a statement to explain this difference.
