The function H described by H(x)= 2.75x + 71.48 can be used to predict the height in centimeter of a woman whose humerus ( the bone from the elbow to the shoulder) is x cm long

H = 2.75(36) + 71.48 = ?? cm

170.48cm?

yes.

To use the given function to predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 36 cm long, you can substitute the value of x into the equation H(x) = 2.75x + 71.48.

H(x) = 2.75 * 36 + 71.48

Now, let's solve this equation:

H(x) = 99 + 71.48
H(x) = 170.48

According to the function, the predicted height of a woman with a humerus length of 36 cm would be approximately 170.48 cm.
