Question 224201: please help me with word problem: 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. The predicted height of a woman whose humerus is 38 cm long is ? cm Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
The predicted height of a woman whose humerus is 38 cm long is ? cm
;
H(x) = 2.75x + 71.48
:
Just substitute 38 for x in the given equation and solve it
H(x) = 2.75(38) + 71.48
H(x) = 104.5 + 71.48
H(x) = 175.98 cm high
