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 overall health, 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 30-year-old with this exercise goal?
b. What is the upper limit of the heart rate range, in beats per minute, for a 30-year-old with this exercise goal?

- The bar graph shows discretionary spending by full and part-time college students in some country from 2007 through 2013. The data in the graph can be modeled by the formula D=1.2x +1.6(x+40), where D represents discretionary spending among students, in billions of dollars, x years after 2007. According to the formula, how much money did college students spend in 2007? Does the model underestimate or overestimate the amount of discretionary spending displayed by the bar graph? By how much? Discretionary Spending Among Students $140- $120- 115 S100- 87 74 $80- 61 S60- $40 $20- 0- 2007 2009 2011 2013 The amount of money college students spent in 2007 according to the formula to the left is $ billion.
