Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Textbook Question

Chapter 8.4, Problem 40E

Forensic Studies Forensic scientists use the lengths of the tibia (t), a bone from the ankle to the knee, and the femur (r), the bone from the knee to the hip socket, to calculate the height of a person. A person's height (h) is determined from the lengths of these bones using functions defined by the following formulas. All measurements are in centimeters.

For men:	For women:
h(r) = 69.09 + 2.24r	h(r) = 61.41 + 2.32r
or h(t) = 81.69 + 2.39/	or h(t) = 72.57 + 2.53f

(a) Find the height of a man with a femur measuring 56 centimeters.

(b) Find the height of a man with a tibia measuring 40 centimeters.

(c) Find the height of a woman with a femur measuring 50 centimeters.

(d) Find the height of a woman with a tibia measuring 36 centimeters.

3. Compute the profit corresponding to 12,000 units. 5. A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 20 ft3. The material for the base costs $0.30 per ft2, the material for the sides cost $0.10 per ft2, and the material for the top costs $0.20 per ft2. Letting a denote the length of one side of the base, find a function in the variable x giving the cost of constructing the box. 6. Given the following graph f(x).
