Question 313432: The body mass index, I, can be used to determine an individual's risk for heart disease. An index less than 25 indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula, or model, I = 700W/H2, where W=weight in pounds and H=Height in inches. Jerome is 75 inches tall. What weights will keep his body mass index between 19 and 31?
Jerome's body mass index will fall between 19 and 31 for the set of all weights such that ___ Round to the nearest tenth as needed.
I came up with 25> 700W/75(2 to the power) =
25 • 75(2 to the power) > 700W over 75(2 to the power) x 75(2 to the power) =
25 •(5625) > 700W
140,625 > 700W = 200.893 - 201 rounded to the nearest tenth
which will equal a body mass index I = 25.
Now I have to figure out the solution of __ Could anyone please help me with this answer. Thank you so much
