Question 134804: Given the function h described by h(x)=2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height in centimeters of a woman whose humerous (the bone from elbow to shoulder)is x cm long.
Predict the height of a woman whose humerous is 33 cm long.
?? cm? Help me please. This is even getting harder than I remember in high school.

The height of a woman can be predicted by the length (x) of her humerous(sic) (In the U.S., it's spelt humerus) and is given by the function:
h%28x%29+2.75x%2B71.48
Predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 33 cm long.
Substitute x = 33 and solve for f(x)
f%2833%29+=+2.75%2833%29+%2B+71.48
f%2833%29+=+90.75%2B71.48
f%2833%29+=+162.23cm.
