Question:
Severely obese persons (BMI > 40) are at serious health risk, and their number is increasing. Using data from 1990 and projected to 2030 the percent of severely obese U.S. adults can be approximated by
S = 0.264t - 2.57
with t equal to the number of years past 1980
(a) What t-value represents 2018?
(b) What value of t gives S = 10?
