We have been given a function [tex]h(x)=61.41+2.32x[/tex] can be used to estimate the height in centimeters of a female with a femur length of x.
Let us find h(46) by substituting x=46 in our given function.
[tex]h(46)=61.41+2.32\cdot 46[/tex]
[tex]h(46)=61.41+106.72[/tex]
[tex]h(46)=168.13[/tex]
Now let us see what h(46) means. It means that the height of female with a femur length of 46 is 168.13 cm.
Given : Anthropologists use the length of certain bones of human skeleton to estimate the height of the living person one of these bones is the femur to estimate the height in centimeters of a female with a femur length of x, the function [tex]h(x)=61.41+2.32x[/tex] .
Thus , here x= "femur length "
h(x)= "height in centimeters of a female"
Substitute x= 46 in the above function,
[tex]h(46)=61.41+2.32(46)=168.13[/tex]
It represents that if the femur length of a female is 46 cm , then the height of the female = 168.13 cm.
