35. To determine drug dosages, doctors estimate a person's body surface area (BSA) (in meters squared) using the formula BSA = /hm/60, where h is the height in centimeters and m the mass in kilograms. Calculate the rate of change of BSA with respect to mass for a person of constant height h = 180. What is this rate at m = 70 and m = 80? Express your result in the correct units. Does BSA increase more rapidly with respect to mass at lower or higher body mass?
