Full solution

Q. A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special diet to gain weight rapidly.\newlineWW represents the wrestler's weight (in kilograms) as a function of time tt (in months).\newlineW=80+5.4tW=80+5.4t\newlineHow much weight does the wrestler gain every 22 months?\newline\square kilograms
  1. Weight Function Calculation: We have the weight function W=80+5.4tW=80+5.4t. To find out how much weight is gained every 22 months, we plug in t=2t=2.
  2. Substitute t=2t=2: W=80+5.4(2)W=80+5.4(2). Now, let's do the math.
  3. Calculate Total Weight: W=80+10.8W=80+10.8. Add 8080 and 10.810.8 together.
  4. Final Result: W=90.8W=90.8. But wait, that's the total weight after 22 months, not the weight gained.
