Question
The amount of skin covering a person's body (in square feet) depends on the person's height and weight. One model for estimating this skin surface area is
A(w, h) = 0.6416w0.425h0.725 square feet
for a person weighing w pounds who is h feet tall. If a person 5 feet 4 inches tall who weighs 130 pounds grows 3 inches in height, by approximately how much must this person's weight change if the skin surface area is to remain the same?
