Question

You are trying to bulk and gain muscle. Your trainer says your daily calorie intake should increases based on hours you spend exercising and can be represented by the following equation: T=2000+500h.

Answer 1

a) T - Calories, 2000 - Minimum calories, 500 - Additional calories per exercise hour, b) We should consume 3500 calories to spend three hours exercising.

How to analyse a linear function of calorie gain in terms of the exercise time

In this question we have a linear function where the independent variable is the exercise time (h), in hours, and the dependent variable is the calorie gain (T), in calories. The constant "2000" is the minimum calorie consumption and the constant "500" represents the amount of additional calories per each hour of exercise.

Now we proceed to respond the questions of the part a):

(i) T - Amount of calories needed, (ii) 2000 - Minimum calorie consumption, (iii) 500 - Amount of additional calories per hour of exercise.

b) And lastly we calculate the amount of calories by evaluating the function:

T = 2000 + 500 · 3

T = 2000 + 1500

T = 3500

We should consume 3500 calories to spend three hours exercising.

Remark

The statement is incomplete, the complete form is shown below:

You are trying to bulk up and gain muscle. Your trainer says that your daily calorie intake should increase based on the hours you spend exercising and can be represented by the following equation: T = 2000 +  500 · h

a) What does each part of this expression represent? (i) T = , (ii) 2000, (iii) 500, (iv) h

b) If you spend 3 hours exercising, how many calories should you consume?
