In the Chapter Opener you learned that there is a relationship between the breathing rate of a cyclist and the bicycle speed. $$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Bicycle speed, } x & 0 & 5 & 10 & 15 & 20 \\\\\hline \text { Breathing rate, } y & 6.4 & 10.7 & 18.1 & 30.5 & 51.4 \\\\\hline\end{array}$$ Let \(x\) represent the speed of the bike in miles per hour, and let \(y\) represent the cyclist's breathing rate in liters of air taken into the lungs per minute. The breathing rate of a cyclist can be modeled by \(y=6.37(1.11)^{x} .\) What is the cyclist's breathing rate if the bike is traveling 19 miles per hour? 25 miles per hour?
