The body mass index (BMI) is a number that can be calculated for any individual by using the equation: BMI = (703 * w) / h^2 where weight (w) is in pounds and height (h) is in inches. Use this information to complete the following: a. Calculate the BMI for a person who weighs 219 pounds and is 6'1'' tall. BMI = (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

The body mass index of a person is defined as B(m,h) = m/h^2 where m is the mass in kilograms and h is the height in meters. a) What is the linear approximation of B(m,h) for a child with mass 15 kg and height of 100 cm? b) If the child’s mass increases by 1 kg and the height by 2 cm, use the linear approximation from part (a) to estimate the new BMI. Compare with the actual new BMI. (Note: You will have two answer here- the approximation of the BMI and the actual BMI.)

A person's body mass index (BMI) is a function of their weight $W$ (in $\mathrm{kg}$ ) and height $H$ (in $\mathrm{m}$ ) given by $B(W, H)=W / H^{2}$. What is the BMI of a $1.72 \mathrm{m}$ tall man weighing $72 \mathrm{kg} ?$
