(Graphing program recommended.) The Ontario Association of Sport and Exercise
Sciences recommends the minimum and maximum pulse rates \(P\) during aerobic
activities, based on age \(A\). The maximum recommended rate, \(P_{\max },\) is
\(0.87(220-A)\). The minimum recommended pulse rate, \(P_{\min },\) is
\(0.72(220-A)\)
a. Convert these formulas to the \(y=m x+b\) form.
b. Graph the formulas for ages 20 to 80 years. Label the regions of the graph
that represent too high a pulse rate, the recommended pulse rate, and too low
a pulse rate.
c. What is the maximum pulse rate recommended for a 20-year-old? The minimum
for an 80 -year-old?
d. Construct an inequality that describes too low a pulse rate for effective
aerobic activity.
e. Construct an inequality that describes the recommended pulse range.
