Chapter 1.3, Problem LC

(a)

To determine

To calculate: The basic energy requirement for a 21 year old male whose height is $5^{\prime }10^{″}$ and weighs 160 pounds.

(b)

To determine

To graph: The dependence of basic energy requirement $B$ on weight $W$ if height $H$ and age $A$ are replaced by actual values.

(c)

To determine

Whether the basic energy requirement $B$ increase or decrease as weight $W$ increases for fixed height and age.

(d)

To determine

To graph: The dependence of basic energy requirement $B$ on age $A$ if height $H$ and weight $W$ are replaced by actual values.

(e)

To determine

Whether the basic energy requirement $B$ increases or decreases as age $A$ increases for fixed height and weight.

(f)

To determine

To graph: The dependence of basic energy requirement $B$ on height $H$ if age $A$ and weight $W$ are replaced by actual values.

(g)

To determine

Whether the basic energy requirement $B$ increases or decreases as height $H$ increases for fixed age and weight.

(h)

To determine

Whether the graph increases or decreases in the parts (b), (d) and (f).
