The polynominal 0.041h - 0.018a - 2.69 can be used to estimate lung capacity, in liters, of a female with height h=cm and age a=years. Find the lung capacity of a 42 yr old female who is 155 cm tall. Round to the nearest liter.
------------------------------------
0.041h - 0.018a - 2.69
-------
Substitute for h and for a
0.041(155) - 0.018(42) - 2.69 = 2.9090
