- Body Mass Index The following graph shows how the body mass index-for-age percentile for girls varies from the age of 2to20 years. Source: Centers for Disease Control. a. Sketch a graph of the rate of change of the 95th percentile as a function of age. b. Sketch a graph of the rate of change of the 50th percentile as a function of age.arrow_forwardWeight Versus Height The following data show the height h, in inches, and weight w, in pounds, of an average adult male. h 61 62 66 68 70 72 74 75 w 131 133 143 149 155 162 170 175 a Make a power model for weight versus height. b According to the model from part a, what percentage increase in weight can be expected if height is increased by 10?arrow_forwardStopping Distance The table below shows the average stopping distance D, in feet, for a car on dry pavement versus the speed S of the car, in miles per hour. S= speed mph 15 25 35 40 60 75 D = stopping distance feet 44 85 136 164 304 433 a Find a model of stopping distance as power function of speed. b If speed is doubled, how is stopping distance affected? c Plot the data and the power model on the same screen.arrow_forward
- Total Body Water Accurate prediction of total body water is critical in determining adequate dialysis doses for patients with renal disease. For white males, total body water can be estimated by the function T(A,W,B)=23.040.03A+0.50W0.62B where T is the total body water in liters, A is age in yr, W is weight in kg, and B is the body mass index. Source: Kidney International. Find T(55,75,30).arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Brain Mass The brain mass of a fetus can be estimated using the total mass of the fetus by the function b=0.22m0.87, where m is the mass of the fetus in grams and b is the brain mass in grams. Suppose the brain mass of a 25-g fetus is changing at a rate of 0.25gperday. Use this to estimate the rate of change of the total mass of the fetus, dm/dt.
