The average walking speed r of a person living in a population P in thousands is modeled by the function, r(p) = 0.37 ln p + 0.05, where r is in feet per second. The population of Wilkes-barre is 48,000. Find the average walking speed of people living in Wilkes-barre

The average walking speed is 1.48 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

where

r is average walking speed

p is the population  in thousands

In this problem we have

----> because p in the equation is in thousands

substitute the value of p in the equation

using a calculator

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !
