The function given below models the number of calories per day, f(x), a person needs to maintain life in terms of that​ person's weight,​ x, in kilograms​ (1 kilogram is approximately 2.2​ pounds). Use this model and a calculator to determine how many calories per day the​ person, who weighs 65 kilograms​ (approximately 143 ​pounds), needs to maintain life.
f(x)= 70x ^3/4
f(65) = 70*65^3/4
-----
f(65) = 70*22.8921
----
f(65) = 1602.44
------

A person that weighs 65 kilograms needs about 1602 calories per day.
