The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Anthropologists have noticed that they can predict the height of a human being based on the length of their femur. The relationship between the person's height, H, in centimeters, and length of the femur, f, in centimeters, can be modeled by the equation below.

H(f) = 4.95f + 72.898

The function is valid for femur lengths between 38.1 cm and 60.96 cm, inclusive.

a. Graph the function, and determine a reasonable domain and range.

b. Suppose a female's femur is 39.37 cm long. About how tall was she?

c. If an anthropologist estimates a female's height as 5 feet 11 inches, about how long is her femur?

Answer:

a. domain = 38.1 \leq  f \leq 60.96

range = 261.49 \leq  H \leq 374.65

b. H(39.37) = 267.78 \: cm

c. f = 21.71 \: cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the function is given by

H(f) = 4.95f + 72.898

a. Graph the function, and determine a reasonable domain and range.

The graph of the function is attached.

The domain of the function is given by

domain = 38.1 \leq  f \leq 60.96

The range of the function is given by

range = H(38.1) \leq  H \leq H(60.96)

Where

H(38.1) = 4.95(38.1) +72.898 \\\\H(38.1) = 188.59 + 72.898 \\\\H(38.1) = 261.49 \: cm

H(60.96) = 4.95(60.96) +72.898 \\\\H(60.96) = 301.75 + 72.898 \\\\H(60.96) = 374.65 \: cm

So, the range is

range = 261.49 \leq  H \leq 374.65

b. Suppose a female's femur is 39.37 cm long. About how tall was she?

H(39.37) = 4.95(39.37) +72.898 \\\\H(39.37) = 194.88 + 72.898 \\\\H(39.37) = 267.78 \: cm

Therefore, she is 267.78 cm tall.

c. If an anthropologist estimates a female's height as 5 feet 11 inches, about how long is her femur?

Let us first convert 5 feet 11 inches into cm

1 feet = 12 inches

5 feet = 12*5 = 60 inches

60 inches + 11 inches = 71 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

71 inches = 71*2.54 = 180.34 cm

H(f) = 4.95f +72.898 \\\\180.34 = 4.95f +72.898 \\\\4.95f = 180.34 -72.898 \\\\4.95f = 107.44\\\\f = \frac{107.44}{4.95} \\\\f = 21.71 \: cm

The total area of both plots of land is?
VikaD [51]

You have 2x^2 + 9x -9 and 3x^2 -2x +14

To find total area add the two polynomials together by combining the like terms.


2x^2 + 3x^2 = 5x^2

9x + -2x = 9x-2x = 7x

-9 + 14 = 5


Total area = 5x^2 + 7x + 5

Joe wants to rent an apartment with an initial monthly rent of $1,400. He has been told that the landlord raises the rent 1.25%
nadya68 [22]

Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = $1,400

r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125

n = 4 years

The 4th term(year), T4 is

T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)

T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3

T4 = $1453.16
