Question

The function H described by H(x) =2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height, in centimeters, of a woman whose humerus (the bone from the elbow to the shoulder) is x cm long.
Predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 39 cm long.

Answer 1

Answer:

The predicted height of the woman is 178.73 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$H(x) =2.75x+71.48$

Where x represents the height of humerus and H(x) represents the height of woman.

Substitute x=39 in above function.

$H(x) =2.75(39)+71.48$

$H(x) =107.25+71.48$

$H(x) =178.73$

Hence, the predicted height of the woman is 178.73 cm.
