Thank you for using BrainMass.com. I hope that this solution helps you to better understand polynomial equations.

(a) We can substitute 0 for t to the polynomial representing the heart beats to calculate it:
f(t =0) = 1.6 * 0 -28 * 0 + 200 = 200
so the heart rate is 200 beats/min when you first ...
