Question

When exercising, the maximum heart rate (r ) in beats per minute is modeled by the equation shown in the box, where (a ) represents the age of the person in years. r = 220 - a If Sanchez is 34 years old, what is his maximum heart rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

186 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum heart rate (r ) in beats per minute is modeled by the equation :

r = 220 - a ...(1)

Where

a is age of the person in years

If Sanchez age is, a = 34 years

Put a = 34 in equation (1)

r = 220 - 34

= 186 beats per minute

Hence, the maximum heart rate is 186 beats per minute.
