Question

A formula for the relationship between weight and blood pressure in children is given by the formula below where P(x) is measured in millimeters of mercury and x is measured in pounds. Use the formula to answer the questions. P(x) = 12.9(9 + ln x) 10 x 100 What is the rate of change of blood pressure with respect to weight at the 50-pound weight level? The rate of change at the 50-pound weight level is approximately mm/pound. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

P'(x)= 12.9/x

so at x=50

p'(x)= 0.258
