Nutrition. As people age their daily caloric needs change. The following table shows data for physically active females, relating age, in years, to number of calories needed daily.
Age | Number of Calories Needed Daily |
6 | 1800 |
11 | 2200 |
16 | 2400 |
24 | 2400 |
41 | 2200 |
(Source: Based on data from US Department of Agriculture) |
a. Make a
b. Do the data appear to fit a quadratic function?
c. Using the data points (6, 1800), (16, 2400), and (41, 2200), find a quadratic function that fits the data.
d. Use the function from part (c) to predict the number of calories needed daily by a physically active 30 yr-old woman.
e. What restrictions are reasonable for the domain of the function from part (c)? Why?
