Question

The Carter family just left the local pet store with Rex, their new family dog. The pet store owner told the Carter family that for the next 6 months, Rex would grow at an average rate of 9 pounds per month. Currently, Rex is 2 months old and weighs 6 pounds. Age, in months 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Weight, in pounds 6 Part A: Complete the given table that represents Rex’s current weight, in pounds, as a function of his age, in months Part B: Graph the data in the table from Part A. Be sure to label the graph and all data points. Part C: Create a linear model that represents the Rex’s current weight, in pounds, as a function of his age, in months. Part D: If Rex continues to grow at the rate of 9 pounds per month beyond the expected six months, how much will Rex weight by the time he is one year old? Upload your table, graph, and solution below.

Answer 1

The graph is attached and all the sub parts have been answered.

What is a function ?

A function is  away of relating a dependent variable to an independent variable .

It is given that

Current weight of Rex at 2 months =6 pounds

Let x represents the age in months of Rex

then a linear model that represents the Rex’s current weight, in pounds, as a function of his age, in months. is

Let y be the current weight of Rex

then

y = 6 + 9(x -2)

The table  that represents Rex’s current weight, in pounds, as a function of his age, in months

2              6

3              15              

4              24

5              33

6              42

7              51

8              59

The graph is plotted for the given data and attached .

If Rex continues to grow at the rate of 9 pounds per month beyond the expected six months, how much will Rex weight by the time he is one year old

6 + 9*(12-2)

96 pounds.
