Q. A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special diet to gain weight rapidly.W represents the wrestler's weight (in kilograms) as a function of time t (in months).W=80+5.4tHow much weight does the wrestler gain every 2 months?□ kilograms
Weight Function Calculation: We have the weight function W=80+5.4t. To find out how much weight is gained every 2 months, we plug in t=2.
Substitute t=2:W=80+5.4(2). Now, let's do the math.
Calculate Total Weight:W=80+10.8. Add 80 and 10.8 together.
Final Result:W=90.8. But wait, that's the total weight after 2 months, not the weight gained.
