the function it described by h(x)2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the humerus (the bone from the womens elbow to the shoulder) is x cm long
predict the height of a womens whose humerus is 39 cm long
Don't know if this is correct or not but i think the answer is 160.75 cm long. Hope this helps.
I get h(39) = 2.75*39 + 71.48 = 178.73cm
h(32.46) = 160.75 -- ???
Also, in you description, it should read more like:
the function it described by h(x) = 2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height of a woman whose humerus (the bone from the womens elbow to the shoulder) is x cm long
To predict the height of a woman based on the length of her humerus using the given function h(x) = 2.75x + 71.48, you can substitute the length of the humerus (x) into the function and solve for h(x).
In this case, the length of the humerus is 39 cm. Therefore, we substitute x = 39 into the function:
h(x) = 2.75(39) + 71.48
Calculating this expression, we get:
h(x) = 107.25 + 71.48
h(x) = 178.73
According to the function, a woman whose humerus is 39 cm long is predicted to have a height of approximately 178.73 cm.
