Question
Experiments suggest that the male maximum heart rate (the most times a males heart can safely beat in a minute) decreases by 9 beats per minute during the first 21 years of his life, and by 26 beats per minute during the first 33 years.45 If you model the maximum heart rate as a function of age, should you use a function that is increasing or decreasing? Concave up or concave down? 3
Solution
The first step in solving 1.3 problem number 37 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Experiments suggest that the male maximum heart rate (the most times a males heart can safely beat in a minute) decreases by 9 beats per minute during the first 21 years of his life, and by 26 beats per minute during the first 33 years.45 If you model the maximum heart rate as a function of age, should you use a function that is increasing or decreasing?
