Answer:

  • <u>5.2 kg per month.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The measure of how fast the wrestler gained weight, in kg per month, is the  weight gain rate.

The table is:

Time (months)           Weight (kg)

    0.5                             80.6

    2                                 88.4

    3.5                              96.2

The weight gain rate, WGR, for a period may be calculated as:

  • WGR = [ weight gain ] / [period]

  • WGR = [final weight - initial weight] / [final time - initial time]

  • WGR₁ = [88.4 kg - 80.6 kg] / [2 month - 0.5 month] = 7.8 kg / 1.5 month = 5.2 kg / month

  • WGR₂ = [96.2 kg - 88.4 kg] / [3.5 month - 2 month] = 7.8 kg / 1.5 month = 5.2 kg / month.

As you see, the wrestler gained weight at a constant rate of 5.2 kg per month.

If the graph of the equation y=(x+2)^2 is reflected with respect to the y-axis, what is the equation of the resulting graph?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Is important to remember that the reflection of the point (a,b) across  the y-axis is the point (-a,b).

Our original equation is y= (x+2)^2

And after the reflection respect x we got:

y= (-x+2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Is important to remember that the reflection of the point (a,b) across  the y-axis is the point (-a,b).

Our original equation is y= (x+2)^2

And after the reflection respect x we got:

y= (-x+2)^2

Solve for x under the assumption that x&lt;0. <br> x-5/x&lt;4
AleksandrR [38]
If you would like to solve the inequality x - 5/x < 4, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>x - 5/x < 4
</span>x^2 - 5 < 4x
x^2 - 4x - 5 < 0
(x - 5) * (x + 1) < 0
x < 0
1. x = 5
2. x = -1

The correct result would be x = -1.
