This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive any points for the skipped part. A person's lean body weight L is the amount he or she would weigh if all body fat were magically to disappear. One text gives the "equation that practitioners can use most feasibly in the field to predict lean body weight in young adult males." The equation is found below.
L = 98.42 + 1.08W − 4.14A
Here L is lean body weight in pounds, W is weight in pounds, and A is abdominal circumference in inches. Find the approximate lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 181 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 41 inches. What is the weight of his body fat? What is his body fat percent?

Step 1
To get the lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 181 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 41 inches we use W =
and A =

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

the homeowners insurance cost for a 115,000 wood frame house is 80,500.
