(1) The percentage of adult height attained by a girl who is x years old can be modeled by f(x) = 62 + 351log (x – 4) Where x represents the girl's age (from 5 to 15) and f(x) represents the percentage of her adult height. Use the function to solve the following, rounding to the nearest hundredths place. You will need a calculator. (a) Approximately what percentage of her adult height has a girl attained at age 13? (b) Approximately what percentage of her adult height has a girl attained at age 10?
