Application Exercises
The maximum heart rate, in beats per minute, that yon should achieve during exercise is 220 minus your age:
220 - a.
This algebraic expression gives maximum heart rate in terms of age, a.
The following bar graph shows the target heart rate ranges for four types of exercise goals. The lower and upper limits of these ranges are fractions of the maximum heart rate, 220 - a. Exercises 129-130 are based on the information in the graph.
If your exercise goal is to improve cardiovascular conditioning, the graph shows the following range for target heart rate, H, in beats per minute:
a. What is the lower limit of the heart rate range, in beats per minute, for a 20-year-old with this exercise goal?
b. What is the upper limit of the heart rate range, in beats per minute, for a 20-year-old with this exercise goal?

Running Times 10 12 14 16 18 Age (years) Which statement best describes the relationship between Marvin's age and the time it takes him to run a mile? As Marvin's age increased, the time it took him to run a mile increased. As Marvin's age increased, the time it took him to run a mile decreased. As Marvin's age increased, the time it took him to run a mile remains constant.

The bar graph shows the mean, or average, student-loan debt in the United States for five selected graduating years from 2001 through 2013. Here are two mathematical models for the data shown by the graph. In each formula, D represents mean student-loan debt, in dollars, x years after 2000. The Model 1 is, D = 1188x + 16,218 and the Model 2 is D = 46x2 + 541x + 17,650. Solve, a. Which model better describes the data for 2001?b. Does the polynomial model of degree 2 underestimate or overestimate the mean student-loan debt for 2013? By how much?arrow_forward
