Maximum Heart Rate When exercising, people
often try to maintain target heart rates that are a percentage
of their maximum heart rate. Maximum heart
rate R is R=220- A, where A is the person’s age
and R is the heart rate in beats per minute.
(a) Find R for a person 20 years old and 70 years old.
(b) Sketch a graph of Assume that A
is between 20 and 70 and put A on the horizontal
axis of your graph.
(c) Interpret your graph.

Hi
Maximum heart rate R is R=220- A, where A is the person’s age
and R is the heart rate in beats per minute.
R(20) = 220-20 = 200
R(70) = 220-70 = 150
Ordered pairs
(70,150) and
(20,200) m = -50/50 = -1 |Using the point-slope formula, m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
As stated: R = -A + 220
Plot (70,150) and (20,200)and connect with line.
Graph says as age increases, that Maximum heart rate number decreases

this one is Alittle Harder this is from my homework because i dont understand this one . i did the rest butt this is a challengeing one he said :
(x+3)(2x-1) / x(x+4) Divided by (-x-3)(2x+1) / x i guess i dont understand because i guess it had the divistion in the middle,, then we have minus and plus.

x^2-1/x^2+2x-3 - X-1/x^2-4

and ill use 2 4 and 1 for this + problem:
x(x+4)/x-2 + X-1/X^2-4

(3x+2)(x-1) = 0
(3x+2)= 0 x = -2/3
(x-1)= 0 x = 1
3. 3x/(x+1) = 0 x = 0 would work
