Question 31947: (Urgent Help Needed I will really appriciate it...
Basal Energy requirements. The basal eanergy requirement B is the number of calories that a person needs to maintain the life process. For a 28 yr old female with height of 160 centimeters and weight 45 kilograms, B is 1300 calories. If her weight increases to 50kg then B is 1365 calories. There is a linear equation that express B in terms of weight w . Find the equation and find the basal energy requirements if her weight is 53.2kg
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have two points, (45,1300) and (50,1365)
Determine an equation of the form B=(m)w+k
m=65/5=13
With B=1300, w=45, and m=13, find k, as follows:
1300=13(45)+k
1300=585+k
m=715
Equation: B=13w+715
B(53.2)=13(53.2)+715
B(53.2)=1406.6 (Basal energy for woman of 53.2kg)
