Murrel‘s formula for calculating the total amount of rest, in minutes, required after performing a
particular type of work activity for 30 minutes is given by the formula R(w) =30(w – 4)
w – 1.5 , where w
is the work expended in kilocalories per min. A bicyclist expends 5 kcal/min as she cycles home
from work. Find R'(w) for the cyclist; that is, find R'(5).
