Concept explainers
In these graphs, each horizontal axis shows a person’s age. Each vertical axis shows that person’s body-mass index (BMI), computed using the following formula:
The variable W represents weight, in pounds. The variable H represents height, in inches. Use this information and the graphs shown above to solve Exercises 51-52.
A woman is 25 years old, 66 inches (5 feet, 6 inches) tall, and weighs 105 pounds
a. Compute the woman’s BMI. Round to the nearest tenth.
b. Use the woman’s age and her BMI to locate this information as a point in the

THINKING MATHEMATICALLY WITH INTEGRATED
- An airplane travels 1944 kilometers against the wind in 3 hours and 2514 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier. km Rate of the plane in still air: km Rate of the wind: h 8.arrow_forwardAnswer #1. Use calculator to apply runga kutta twice. Use values for x 2, 2.05, and 2.1arrow_forwardAn object’s weight on the Moon, M, varies directly as its weight on Earth, E. Neil Armstrong, the first person to step on the Moon on July 20, 1969, weighed 360 pounds on Earth (with all of his equipment on) and 60 pounds on the Moon. What is the Moon weight of a person who weighs 186 pounds on Earth?arrow_forward

The power P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies directly as the cube of the wind speed v (in meters per second). If a turbine generates 500 kW in a 10 m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 12 m/s wind?arrow_forwardA jet travels 5352 miles against a jetstream in 8 hours and 6312 miles with the jetstream in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the jetstream? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier. mi Rate of the jet in still air: h mi Rate of the jetstream:arrow_forward
