Blood pressure. An experiment was set up to find a relationship between weight and systolic blood pressure in children. Using hospital records for 5,000 children, the experimenters found that the systolic blood pressure was given approximately by P ( x ) = 17.5 ( 1 + ln x ) 10 ≤ x ≤ 100 where P ( x ) is measured in millimeters of mercury and x is measured in pounds. What is the rate of change of blood pressure with respect to weight at the 40-pound weight level? At the 90-pound weight level?

from x=0 to x=4 with a step size of 0.5. The initial condition at x=0 is y=1. Recall
that the exact solution is given by y = -0.5x+4x³- 10x² + 8.5x+1
