Answer:

80 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before this wrestler begins his diet, he obviously weighed something.  Look at W(t) =80+ 5.4t  and set t = 0; you get W(0) = initial weight = 80 lb + (5.4 lb/month)(0) = 80 lb.

Hi!

The correct answer is 80 kilograms before his special diet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have W(t)=80 + 5.4t, and you replace t=0, which is the time that the wrestler starts his diet then:

• W(0) = 80 + 5.4×0 = 80.

You can apply this for any positive time requested:

• W(1) = 80 + 5.4×1 = 85.4.

• W(2) = 80 + 5.4×2 = 90.8.

• W(3) = 80 + 5.4×3 = 96.2.

• W(3.5) = 80 + 5.4×3.5 = 101.6.
