Problema Solution

Height and Head Circumference The head circumference C of a child is related to the height H of

the child (both in inches) through the function

H(C) = 2.15C – 10.53

(a) Express the head circumference C as a function of height H.

(b) Predict the head circumference of a child who is 26 inches tall.

Answer provided by our tutors

(a) Express the head circumference C as a function of height H.


H = 2.15C – 10.53


by solving for C we find:


C = (H + 10.53)/2.15


(b) Predict the head circumference of a child who is 26 inches tall.


H = 26 in


C = (26 + 10.53)/2.15


C = 16.99 in
