A person's systolic blood pressure, which is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), depends on a person's age, in years. The equation: P = 0.006 y 2 − 0.02 y + 121 gives a person's blood pressure, P , at age y years. A.) Find the systolic pressure, to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, for a person of age 40 years. B.) If a person's systolic pressure is 130.74 mm Hg, what is their age (rounded to the nearest whole year)?

129.8 mmHg

42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation :

P = 0.006 y² − 0.02 y + 121

Systolic blood pressure, P

Age, y

A.)

Find P when age y = 40

P = 0.006(40)² − 0.02(40) + 121

P = 9.6 - 0.8 + 121

P = 129.8 mmHg

B)

P = 130.74 mmHg

y =?

130.74 = 0.006y² − 0.02y + 121

130.74 - 121 = 0.006y² − 0.02y

9.74 = 0.006y² − 0.02y

0.006y² − 0.02y - 9.74 = 0

Using a quadratic equation solver :

The roots are 41.99 and - 38.66

Age cannot be negative ;

Hence age = 41.99 = 42 years

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
