A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special diet to gain weight rapidly. W(t) models the wrestler's weight (in kilograms) as a function of time t (in months). W(t)=80+5.4t
What was the wrestler's weight before his special diet?
The rate of change of the equation is 5.4 kilograms per month. To find the weight gain, we can multiply the rate of change by 2, the number of months. :)
