The body mass index B of a person of mass m kg and height h meters is given by the formula B(m,h)=m/h^(2).One child increased his previous height of 1.2 meters by 3 centimeters, and his mass increased from 29 kg to 32 kg. Use the differential to estimate how much the child's body mass index has changed.
The body mass index, or BMI, is a ratio of a person’s weight divided by the square of his or her height. Let b (t) denote the BMI; then, b (t) = w(t)/[h(t)]2, where t is the age of the person, w(t) the weight in kilograms, and h(t) the height in meters. Find an expression for b (t).
