The function H described by H(x)= 2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height in centemeters, of a woman whose humerus(the bone from the elbow to the shoulder)is x cm long. Predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 32cm long.
h(32)=2.75*32 + 71.48
To predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 32 cm long, we can use the function H(x) = 2.75x + 71.48, where x represents the length of the humerus in centimeters.
Substituting x = 32 into the function, we get:
H(32) = 2.75(32) + 71.48
Now, let's solve this equation step by step:
Multiply 2.75 by 32:
H(32) = 88 + 71.48
Add 88 and 71.48:
H(32) = 159.48
Therefore, the predicted height of a woman whose humerus is 32 cm long is approximately 159.48 centimeters.
