Problema Solution
the polynomial 0.041h -0.018a-2.69 can be used to estimate the lung capacity, in liters, of a female with height h, in centimeters, and age a, in years. Find the lung capacity of a 20 -year- old woman who is 160 centimeters tall.
Her lung capacity is ___ liters.
(round to the nearest hundredth)
Answer provided by our tutors
substitute 20 for a and 160 for h
lung capacity = .041h - .018a - 2.69
= .041(160) - .018(2) - 2.69
= 6.56 - .36 - 2.69
= 3.51 liters
