Jste Camen Shutterack (a) Examine the data and explain why an inverse variation relationship might best model the situation. As the mass of the animal increases, the relative running speed generally decreases at a decreasing✔✔ rate. (b) Use a graphing calculator to find a power function model. (Round your values to two decimal places.) v(m) - Use the model to describe the relationship between maximum relative running speed and body mass of these animals. As the mass of the animal increases, the relative running speed decreases regression model to determine the mass of an animal with a relative running speed of 8.16 meters per second. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Use the power M=
