Problema Solution

How tall was a person whose femur was found to be 22.5 inches in length. What is an invalid value for the domain of this function? Explain why. What is an invalid value for the range for this function? Explain why.

Using function h(x)=1.88x+32.01. Where h(x)is the height in inches and x is the length of the femur in inches.

Answer provided by our tutors

x = 22.5

h(x) = 1.88(22.5) + 32.01 

h(x) =  74.31 inches

the height of the person is 74.31 inches

The domain is x > -17.0266

This is because  any value of x less than -17.0266, height value will be invalid because the height should always be positive

 

The range is h(x) > 0, because the height should always be positive. Any h(x) value less than 0 is invalid.
