Answer:

The man would be 40 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Blood pressure as function of age:

Is given by the following equation:

P = 0.006A^2 - 0.02A + 120

Find the age of a man whose normal blood pressure measures 129 mmHg.

This is A for which P = 129. So

129 = 0.006A^2 - 0.02A + 120

0.006A^2 - 0.02A - 9 = 0

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

Quadratic equation with a = 0.006, b = -0.02, C = -9. So

\Delta = (-0.02)^2 - 4(0.006)(-9) = 0.2164

A_{1} = \frac{-(-0.02) + \sqrt{0.2164}}{2*(0.006)} = 40.4

A_{2} = \frac{-(-0.02) - \sqrt{0.2164}}{2*(0.006)} = -37.1

Age has to be a positive number, so rounding to the nearest year:

The man would be 40 years old.

Find the quotient 4/6÷4/12
maxonik [38]
Keep Change Flip is the way to think about dividing fractions.
First-  4/6 divided by 4/12
Next- Change the division sign to multiplecation   4/6 time 4/12
Then- Flip the second number    4/6 times 12/4
Now multiply

48/24   this simplifies down to 2
