Mosteller Formula for Body Surface Area: 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 formula gives one way of estimating body surface area B in square meters. The formula uses the weight w in kilograms and the height h in centimeters. The relation is B=hw60 In this exercise, we consider people who are 190 centimeters tall. a. Write a formula for B as a function of w. b. Make a graph of B versus w. includes weights up to 100 kilograms. c. Is the graph you made in part b concave up or 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 heavier man?

A Skydiver When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, his downward velocity, in feet per second, before he opens his parachute, is given by v=1761-0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since he jumped from the airplane. What is the velocity after 5 seconds?

write the length L of the rectangle as a function of y.

Differentiate the function.   D=11−lnp

High School GPA C.. G 5584455296-Goo.. The value of a house generally increases over time. Taylor buys a house for $400,000. After 1 year, the house is worth $440,000. After 2 years, the house is worth $480,000. After 3 years, the house is worth $520,000. What function e County Hi... describes the relationship between the year and the house value? nents O f(x) = 400,000x + 40,000 O f(x) = 40,000x + 400,000 O f(x) = 440,000 * (1.10)* O f(x) = 400,000 * (1.10)* %3D

A chicken farmer has 64 feet of poultry netting to enclose in a rectangular chicken coop. One side of the coop is bordered by a barn and so it does not need any netting. X = X y = Barn Chicken Coop You want to determine what dimensions will yield the largest floor space. A. Write the function that gives the floor space (S) of the coop in terms of x (the length of the side shown above) only: S(x) = B. What dimensions would guarantee that the coop has the greatest possible floor space? ft (feet) ft (feet) у C. What is the greatest possible floor space?: ft² (square-feet)

Write the indicated function. A rectangular sign is being designed so that the length of its base, in feet, is 2 feet less than 4 times the height, h. Express the area of the sign as a function of h. A(h) = -2h + h² A(h) = -2h² + 2h A(h) = 2h-2h² A(h) = -2h + 4h²
