Concept explainers
The bar graph shows the estimated number of calories per day needed to maintain energy balance for various gender and age groups for moderately active lifestyles. (Moderately active means a lifestyle that includes physical activity equivalent to walking 1.5 to 3 miles per day at 3 to 4 miles per hour, in addition to the light physical activity associated with typical day-to-day life.)

a. The mathematical model
describes the number of calories needed per day, W, by women in age group x with moderately active lifestyles. According to the model, how many calories per day are needed by women between the ages of 19 and 30. Inclusive, with this lifestyles? Done this underestimate or overestimate the number shown by the graph? By how much?
b. The mathematical model
describes the number of calories needed per day, M, by men in age group x with moderately active lifestyles. According to the model, how many calories per day are needed by men between the ages of 19 and 30, inclusive, with this lifestyle? Does this underestimate or overestimate the number shown by the graph? By how much?
c. Write a simplified rational expression that describes the ratio of the number of calories needed per day by women in age group x to the number of calories needed per day by men in age group x for people with moderately active lifestyles.

- An athlete ran for 8 hours at a constant speed. The athlete was immediately given a bike and rode in the opposite direction for 3 hours, with twice the running speed. The athlete then reversed direction again, walking for 1 hour at 40% of the initial running speed. After 12 hours, the athlete was 9.6 miles from the point where the marathon exercise began. Find the athlete’s walking speed. A. 3 mph B. 1.2 mph C. 1.6 mph D. 4 mpharrow_forwardThe scatterplot shows the relationship between Marvin's age and the time it took him to run a mile. Running Times 10 12 14 16 18 Age (years) Which statement best describes the relationship between Marvin's age and the time it takes him to run a mile? As Marvin's age increased, the time it took him to run a mile increased. As Marvin's age increased, the time it took him to run a mile decreased. As Marvin's age increased, the time it took him to run a mile remains constant. There is no relationship between Marvin's age and the time it took him to run a mile. ttps://ola3.performancematters.com/ola/ola.jsp?clientCode=Dvahenricocounty# P Type here to search Time to Run a Mile (minutes)arrow_forward(c) Th Data Table Total Length (cm) 138.0 135.0 130.0 120.5 149.0 141.0 141.0 150.0 166.0 151.5 129.5 150.0 Print Weight (kg) 110 60 90 60 85 105 95 85 155 140 105 110 Done 0 X Critical Values for the Correlation Coefficient 3 0.997 4 0.950 5 0.878 6 0.811 7 0.754 8 0.707 9 0.666 10 0.632 11 0.602 12 0.576 13 0.553 14 0.532 15 0.514 16 0.497 17 0.482 18 0.468 19 0.456 20 0.444 21 0.433 22 0.423 23 0.413 24 0.404 25 0.396 26 0.388 27 0.381 0371 X not practical to v parts (a) througharrow_forward

- The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, measured in parts per million, has been increasing as a result of the burning of oil and coal. The buildup of gases and particles traps heat and raises the planet’s temperature. The bar graph in Figure (a) gives the average atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and the average global temperature for six selected years. The data are displayed as a set of six points in a rectangular coordinate system in Figure (b) [see attached]. Solve, Use the data points (317, 57.04) and (354, 57.64), shown, but not labeled, in Figure (b) [see attached herewith] to obtain a linear function that models average global temperature, f(x), for an atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of x parts per million. Round m to three decimal places and b to one decimal place. Then use the function to project average global temperature at a concentration of 600 parts per million.arrow_forwardráphing. 2. 4x-2y = -8 y = 2x + 4 24arrow_forwardHow wide is the chasm between what men and women earn in the workplace?
