In the table below, percentages are probabilities of 15-year survival without coronary heart disease, stroke, or diabetes in men aged 50 years with selected combinations of risk factors. here "bmi" stands for body mass index, an index of weight adjusted for height. the world health organization gives the following classifications: "normal" 18.5 to 24.9; "grade 1overweight" 25.0 to 29.9; "grade 2 overweight" 30.0 to 39.9; "grade 3 overweight" 40.0 or higher.

a man who currently smokes and who is very overweight and inactive is considering either starting an exercise program or dieting to lose enough weight to be somewhat overweight—but not both. according to the table, which choice would be better?

a.)exercise program

b.) dieting

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation. -9x^3-7x^2-96x+36=3x^3+x^2-3x+8

You can ride your bike around your block 6 times and the whole neighborhood 5 times in 16 minutes. you can ride your bike around your block 3 times and the whole neighborhood 10 times in 23 minutes. how long does it take you to ride around the neighborhood?

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
