Question
![A man who is 5 foot 8 inches tall is losing weight at the rate of 5 pounds per month. Suppose that for a person of this height, the relationship between body mass index B and weight w (in pounds)
is given by 4700B = 717w. Find the rate of change of body mass index with respect to time.
Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to time.
4700
=717
Find the rate of change of body mass index with respect to time. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
