Suppose that a person's heart rate, [tex]\( x \)[/tex] minutes after vigorous exercise has stopped, can be modeled by the function:

[tex]\[ f(x) = \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 + 71 \][/tex]

The output is in beats per minute, where the domain of [tex]\( f \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 0 \leq x \leq 10 \)[/tex].

(a) Evaluate [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( f(4) \)[/tex]. Interpret the result.

(b) Estimate the times when the person's heart rate was between 100 and 120 beats per minute, inclusive. Interpret this result.

Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Simplify your answers. Type integers or decimals.)

A. The person's heart rate is 151 beats per minute initially and about 99.8 beats per minute after 4 minutes.

B. The person's heart rate is about [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] beats per minute after [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] minutes and [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] beats per minute when it has returned to normal.

(b) Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A. About [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] [tex]\(\ \textless \ x \ \textless \ \)[/tex] [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] (min)

B. About [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] [tex]\(\leq x \leq\)[/tex] [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] (min)

Answer :

Let's solve the problem step by step:

### (a) Evaluate [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( f(4) \)[/tex]. Interpret the result.

The function provided is:

[tex]\[ f(x) = \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 + 71 \][/tex]

First, we need to evaluate [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[
f(0) = \frac{4}{5}(0-10)^2 + 71 = \frac{4}{5}(100) + 71 = 80 + 71 = 151
\][/tex]

Next, we evaluate [tex]\( f(4) \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[
f(4) = \frac{4}{5}(4-10)^2 + 71 = \frac{4}{5}(36) + 71 = 28.8 + 71 = 99.8
\][/tex]

Interpretation:
- [tex]\( f(0) = 151 \)[/tex]: The person's heart rate is 151 beats per minute initially, right after stopping exercise.
- [tex]\( f(4) = 99.8 \)[/tex]: The person's heart rate is about 99.8 beats per minute after 4 minutes.

Let's choose the correct interpretation:
A. The person's heart rate is 151 beats per minute initially and about 99.8 beats per minute after 4 minutes.

### (b) Estimate the times when the person's heart rate was between 100 and 120 beats per minute, inclusive.

To find these times, we need to solve the inequality:

[tex]\[ 100 \leq \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 + 71 \leq 120 \][/tex]

Solving for the lower bound (100 bpm):

[tex]\[ 100 = \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 + 71 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 = 29 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (x-10)^2 = 36.25 \][/tex]
Taking the square root:
[tex]\[ x-10 = \pm6.02 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = 10 \pm 6.02 \][/tex]

The potential solutions are approximately [tex]\( x = 3.98 \)[/tex] (within domain).

Solving for the upper bound (120 bpm):

[tex]\[ 120 = \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 + 71 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5}(x-10)^2 = 49 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (x-10)^2 = 61.25 \][/tex]
Taking the square root:
[tex]\[ x-10 = \pm7.83 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = 10 \pm 7.83 \][/tex]

The potential solution is approximately [tex]\( x = 2.17 \)[/tex] (within domain).

Interpretation:
The heart rate was between 100 and 120 beats per minute from about 2.17 minutes to 3.98 minutes after exercise stopped.

So, the correct choice is:
B. About [tex]\( 2.2 \leq x \leq 4.0 \)[/tex] (min)
