Body surface area is an important piece of medical information because it is a factor in temperature regulation as well as some drug level determinations. The Mosteller formulat gives one way of estimating body surface area 8 in square meters. The formula uses the weight w in kilograms and the height h in centimeters. The relation is Vhw 60 In this exercise we consider people who are 190 centimeters tall. (a) Write a formula for 8 as a function of w. (b) Make a graph of 8 versus w. Include weights up to 100 kilograms. 3.0 3.0r 25 25 20 20 15 15 1.0 1.0 05 0.5 00 w 00 20 40 60 80 100 20 40 60 80 100 3.0. 3.0 25 25 20 20 1.5 15 1.0 1.0 05 05 w 100 0.0 20 10 60 80 20 10 60 80 100 (c) Is the graph you made in part (b) concave up or concave down? O concave up O concave down (d) In this part we consider the effect of weight gain on men who are 190 centimeters tall. Would the weight gain have a greater effect on surface area for a lighter man or for a he avier man? O lighter man O heavier man
The linearization of a function works best when it is used to approximate a function, meaning behaviour and value, close to the point of tangency. A. True B. False

The height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.6. See the figure below. Suppose that the height of the candle after 14 hours is 15.6 centimeters. What will be the height of the candle after 20 hours? Candle height (in cm) 15.6 14 Burning time (in hours) centimeters X S
Do you use x-coordinates or y-coordinates when describing where functions increase, decrease, or are constant?
